Thanks! It appears these two files only differ by two seemingly random bytes.

If you can print the full metadata returned by the upload call, and a hash value of the returned contents of mem right before the corrupted upload, that would be helpful. Also, since it seems like this happens randomly, if you could also include the specific files for the output you share that would be useful.

I actually found the problem. It has to do with our sonicwall, a setting was changed earlier this year where the sonicwall issues an SSL certificate to each client and makes the secured connection outside of our network so traffic could be monitored (DPI-SSL). I added dropbox to the exclusions list and now it seems to be working.

 

Thanks
