newBox As Здравко noted, you should not attempt to open the temporary upload link directly in a browser; attempting to do so will return a 404 to the GET request.

 

As for the path, if your app has the "app folder" access type, you should not include the path to the app folder itself in the 'path' value. Dropbox will automatically interpret your path values as relative to the app folder when using an app with the app folder access type. So for example, if you are using an app with an app folder, and want to upload to "/Apps/<app_folder_name>/products/somefilename.txt", you should only specify "/products/somefilename.txt".
