Python SDK constant errors
Trying to make a small app that will read a pair of files from a dropbox folder and compile a small database from them. Just getting started, following the sample but I keep getting errors of differe...
- It looks like the ValueError issue is fixed in requests v2.17.1, so please update to that and let me know if you're still seeing any issues.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for clarifying. Yes, those two should give you the same listing.
Make sure both apps are linked to the same account though. You can use users_get_current_account to check that.
If you're still getting unexpected results, feel free to open a ticket with the specific code and output from the affected account and we'll be happy to look into it specifically for you:

Well, this is curious. I have firgured it out, but I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not.
So, the original name of the folder for the app was the name of the App (something like App-Test-Name), but, like I said, I changed it in the settings to 'testFolder'.
I then created a folder with that name within the Apps folder. Right beside the original App-Test-Name folder.
I tested now (by adding a different file to App-Test-Name), and the single-folder app is actually listing the contents of the 'App-Test-Name' folder instead of 'testFolder'.
Something seems off here...
- Greg-DBManually creating a folder won't connect it to your app. The app folder is a special app folder automatically created for the app when the app is linked to the user's account.
Also, if you change the app folder name setting for an app, it won't change the name of any app folders already created in already linked user accounts.
So, it sounds like this is working as expected, since the existing app folder was "App-Test-Name", and "testFolder" was just the normal folder you created after the fact.I see...
But then, what is the purpose of the 'App folder name' setting in the App dashboard?
I assumed that it would change the name of the connected folder after I changed the setting, but when it didn't, that's when I created the other folder.
- Greg-DBThe app folder name setting would be used when setting the name of new app folders when more users link to your app. Changing it won't change the name of existing app folders though.
