/properties/add
How to select a path for document which we want to add by API. Kindly help on the same.
I am getting this error:
{
"error_summary": "path/not_found/",
"error": {
".tag": "path",
"path": {
".tag": "not_found"
}

The /2/file_properties/properties/add endpoint is for adding custom file properties to existing files on Dropbox. To create/upload a file, you would use /2/files/upload first (or upload sessions for large files).
Both of these identify the file using the "path" parameter. A 'path/not_found' error, such as from /2/file_properties/properties/add, indicates that the call failed because there was nothing found at the specified "path".
I recommend reading the File Access Guide for information on how this works.
