As Здравко mentioned, please make sure you're encoding header values as documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding

Greg-DB Yes I still got the problems.
I'm using Dropbox on Salesforce and using two way to upload files (both didn't works since yesterday)
- by using the official dropbox package "Dropbox for Salesforce" (apiName "Dropbox_for_SF") version 1.704
- by using a custom code in apex (like java) that create an http request on the
https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload with this code :
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setMethod('POST');
String auth = 'Bearer '+tk;
String content = 'application/octet-stream';
String dbApiArg = '{\"path\": \"'+path+'/'+ a.name.replace('(xxx)','+') +'\",\"mode\": \"overwrite\",\"autorename\": true,\"mute\": false}';
Blob blobBodyValue = a.body;
req.setHeader('Authorization', auth);
req.setHeader('Content-Type', content);
req.setHeader('Dropbox-API-Arg', dbApiArg);
req.setBodyAsBlob(blobBodyValue);
Http http = new Http();
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
The fact is that my code and the package was working since year and no modifications has been dones ! Other Api like list_folder or download still working. All my organization have this issue.
I've test multiples times the upload api and without accents/special characters its work fine. But the management of the files is full automatised so we can't modify the file name to remove problematic characters....
