Files are no longer uploaded to Dropbox from PowerShell script
Hi everyone!
Hope you can help me out with this one:
We have a VOIP provider which stores calls for a maximum of 30 days, hence, we download them and upload the .wav files to Dropbox so we ca...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException' error type isn't made by Dropbox, so I can't offer too much insight on that. If a Dropbox API call fails, the Dropbox API would return a response body, but I don't see one here.
I do still expect this is related to the TLS change though, so I recommend looking into making sure your environment uses TLS 1.2. (In the case of a TLS failure, that would be a failure of the actual network connection and so would fail before the Dropbox API call occurs, meaning there wouldn't be an error message from the Dropbox API itself.)
Well, I double checked and the PCs are running TLS 1.2
Should I just check that protocol and disable all others? I don't think that would be recommended
Also, where else can I ask about this?
I'm still insisting that the script worked for TWO YEARS and just a few days ago stopped working...
So if it isn't related to TLS, what else can it be?

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "the PCs are running TLS 1.2"? Can you check if 'Invoke-RestMethod' in particular is using TLS 1.2 for these network requests?
The Dropbox API servers do currently only support TLS 1.2, so it would be fine to enable only TLS 1.2 client-side for this as far as the Dropbox API calls are concerned. Network clients should automatically use the best available version though, so that shouldn't be necessary anyway.
In any case, this is the right forum for help with the Dropbox API. You can also open an API ticket here if you'd prefer to communicate privately.
This is what I mean by that:
How do I check if Invoke-RestMethod is using TLS 1.2?
- Greg-DB
It's not clear if those settings mean that Invoke-RestMethod will use TLS 1.2. I can't offer help specifically for Invoke-RestMethod as it's not made by Dropbox, so I recommend referring to its documentation for information on configuring it.
