karver Apps with the "app folder" access type can only access the contents of the special app folder that gets automatically created for it. If your app has the "app folder" access type, then it will only be able to access files in the app folder, and the root for any path value supplied by that app will automatically be the app folder root. You can find more information on app permissions here. For example, If your app has the app folder access type and you're trying to access something you can see on the Dropbox web site at
"/Apps/<app folder name>/folder/example.csv", you should only send thepathvalue as"/folder/example.csv".So in your case, instead of this line:
$DropboxFolder = "Apps/WAE-DE-dev-win11/file.zip"try it like this:
$DropboxFolder = "file.zip" Hi karver,
You have 2 errors, at least. The first one is obvious - you have pointed something that doesn't exist (likely it's the same as explained before; not mandatory, of course). The other one is the fact that you're trying to download folder content using method suitable for files only! To be able download a folder as zip file take a look on /2/files/download_zip. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
