Hi senthilnathan205,
At the beginning, one error not directly related to the current issue, but will bring up soon, if let unfixed in advance. In your client initialization you are using access token only. This type of token is with limited validity (at most 4 hours). After that, user will need to relink your application again and again... To avoid such continuous token expiration, you have to initialize you client object with refresh token, access token expiration time, and application key (application secret might be need too depending on selected authentication type) in addition to the access token. If need, change your authentication flow.

Hm...🤔 What's the content of 'folder' passed as 'path' parameter? Take in mind that path has to point to the target file (full path) where the 'body' will be put to, not to the containing folder only! Dropbox can NOT know what's the desired file name, if not pointed explicitly. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
hi sir,
I replace token key each 4hr

Yes, exactly validity period (up border) for access token (as you named it "token key"). 🤷 Continue, if you like to be so. Otherwise, change you code to use refresh token too. That's it.

senthilnathan205 Yes, as Здравко noted, if you need access for more than four hours, you should request and use a refresh token as well. For the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK, you can find an example of getting and using a refresh token in the OauthBasic example (non-PKCE, meant for server-side apps) as well as in the OAuthPKCE example (PKCE, meant for client-side apps)
