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.
