Hi Egorov_WIIW,

There are variety of reasons for such behavior. You didn't check actually for all possible cases! Try catch 'DropboxException' in an except statement, not only 'ApiError'. There should be some more information. By the way using access token only is not a good idea. It expires and you need to authorize your application anew. Share single Dropbox client object instead of access token. Once properly initialized with refresh token such an object will work in a more stable way and more efficiently. 😉

Hope this gives direction.
