    A path/conflict/file error indicates that the upload failed because a file already exists at the path specified.

    You'd need to remove/rename the existing file, use a different file name for the upload, or use a different write mode to get that call to succeed. You can find more information in the documentation:

    https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

    (There is also corresponding documentation for the native methods in the documentation for the official SDKs, if you're using one.)

    I changed the chunksize to 512 kb, I will give it a shot now and I will get back to you.
