The 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header does not support a 'shared_folder' option. Please refer to the Namespace Guide for information and examples on how to use the header, such as what options it supports:

For example, it sounds like you probably want to use the 'namespace_id' option.

    Thank you for your reply.

    As you explained, I set it as follows.

     

    'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' => json_encode([
        '.tag' => 'namespace_id',
        'namespace_id' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
]),

    However, I get the following error:

    `POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response:
Error in call to API function "files/upload": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account, but the OAuth 2 ac (truncated...)

    Why is this?

    I would appreciate it if you could advise me.

     

    Thank you.

      It looks like you or your HTTPS client truncated the error message. Please print out the full error message information, as it will contain more information about the specific error scenario.
