{}- Greg-DBThat seems to be the POST to your own site. Can you share the information I requested for the Dropbox API call itself? Thanks in advance!
Greg :I think I found the issue. Our servers hosted on AWS EC2 were timing out as the default idle time was 300s. What should be the idle connection time set to avoid timing out for files upto 1000?

Thanks in advance!Also, if I had paginated results using the code mentioned initially in my post, then shouldn't it get the results in batches instead of getting all at once? I think that's what is happening and its timing out eventually.
