Hi Greg K,

Thanks for the reply,

Yes, for some iPads devices it work and for some it does not. All iPads having the same ios version 12.x . I am sure that the folder path is correct.

If I remove ' in the folder name, it works fine on iPads which are giving this issue.

Anything else could be the issue?

Many Thanks,

Sim_one We'll need to take a closer look. Please open an API ticket with the following:

  • the version number of the Dropbox SDK you have installed
  • the output of getCurrentAccount
  • the output of listFolder with path=""
  • the code you're using to call for "Peter O'Brien"

Thanks in advance!
