Thank you for your solution. I tried this code with changes but this time even the image file is not uploaded to dropbox. Please find my updated code below.
 
var namefile= path.basename("C:\\Users\\uploads\\converted\\"+foldername+"\\"+req.file.originalname,".ARW" );

var image =namefile+".dng";
fs.readFile("C:\\Users\\uploads\\converted\\"+foldername+"\\"+image, function(err, data) {
    
    var dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: 'XXXX' });
    dbx.filesUpload({path: '/'+link+'/'+image, contents: data})
        .then(function(response) {
        console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
});
 
I appreciate your help.

Have you checked what the value of your 'data' variable is? Does it contain the expected file contents?

 

I notice you aren't checking the 'err' variable for the readFile call, so you may not be catching any errors that are occurring when reading the file. You should update your code to check that.
