The 'dropbox.files.FileMetadata' is just the class, and not an instance containing the information for this uploaded file. That is, you'll want to do something like this (or return it and use it later like Здравко said):
file_metadata = dbx.files_upload_session_finish(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE), cursor, commit)
print("This is the id of the uploaded file:")
print(file_metadata.id)great thanks Greg.
Still cant find where that should go in, everytime I try its giving me inconsistent use of tabs, spaces and indentations error.

The files_upload_session_finish method returns the FileMetadata instance you want, so you should update your use of files_upload_session_finish. In your original code, you're just printing it out, but you can instead save it to a variable and use it there, or return it from your dropboxupload method and use it later.
Cracked it.
Thanks all!
