It looks like this is failing at a much lower level than the Dropbox SDK, so I'm afraid I can't offer too much insight. For reference, here's the documentation for the 'OpenSSL.SSL.WantWriteError' error.

 

Your Dropbox code looks fine though, and I just tried it and it worked for me (when putting in a valid path on my computer).

 

A few thoughts to try to narrow this down:

- Is there anything on the network connection, e.g., firewall, proxy, etc., that may be interfering with the Dropbox API HTTPS connection (to content.dropboxapi.com in particular, for uploads)?

- Does this happen only for specific file(s), or any files?

- Does downloading work?

- Does getting metadata work (e.g., files_list_folder or files_get_metadata)?

- Did you change/update any libraries when this broke?

- Have you tried this on another computer, and if so does this issue reproduce elsewhere?
