    Hi Greg-DB , I wanted to add that the thumbnails work when i try it in isolation using the Dropbox .js example. But not here.  Ireally dont see what i am doing wrong. The function just completely fails with one of these `fetch` errors. No matter what I try.

     

    async getThumbnail(path: string😞 Promise<any>{
    return this.manager.execute(
    async () => {
    const data: any = await this.client
    .filesGetThumbnail({path: path})
    .then((response:any) => {
    console.log('got filesGetThumbnail response:');
    console.log(response);
    console.log('got thumbnail data:');
    console.log(response.result.fileBinary)
    })
    .catch(error => {
    console.log('got filesGetThumbnail error:');
    console.error(error);
    });
    return ''
    })
    }
