Dropbox StaffPython TypeError using Dropbox API move_v2function
Hi, I am trying to use the API to batch rename file. I had specific questions are around the move_v2 function:
I’m running dropbox.files.move_v2(params), where the args are from_path and to_path – As I understand it, we can’t rename files specifically, rather we just use move/move_v2.
However, I keep getting the below error:
I know the function exists as a result, but clearly I’m not using it correctly.

Hmmmmm, yes that makes sense actually, that the move operation would in a sense 'reset' the file in terms of where the cursor is, and thus might get included in a future operation.
Problem is the full file list is 160k total files across a number of directories, and even counting them all takes ~8 mins.
I think a workaround is to include an if statement to exclue any file that beginswith('str'), as all the strings that I'm appending to files begin with 'zas', but it's not exactly elegant. :)
