      The Dropbox API certainly still works with .jpg files. (I tested your code with a .jpg file in fact.)

      At the layer where this is failing, the file type shouldn't matter anyway. It may have to do with the file size though. Perhaps try to different sizes to verify that?

      Otherwise, it if you did do an update, it may be a bug in one of those lower level libraries.
