If you're getting a status code, such as a 409, that means that you are receiving an HTTPS response. In the case of a 409 from the Dropbox API, there should always be some response body, but it looks like your HTTPS client isn't printing it out.
How have you been trying to access it exactly? It looks like this StackOverflow answer shows how you should be able to.

It doesn't look like it gets that far. This is an exception that happens at the point of invoking POST method and server returns: The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict. The exception itself has Response property and it at it provides only the following:
IsMutuallyAuthenticated : False
Cookies : {}
Headers : {Transfer-Encoding, Connection, Content-Security-Policy, X-Dropbox-Request-Id...}
SupportsHeaders : True
ContentLength : -1
ContentEncoding :
ContentType : application/json
CharacterSet :
Server : nginx
LastModified : 26/03/2020 20:58:11
StatusCode : Conflict
StatusDescription : Conflict
ProtocolVersion : 1.1
ResponseUri : https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/members/remove
Method : POST
IsFromCache : FalseThis exception only happens if I have the transfer_dest_id in request body. If I remove it, the same request works OK, but without file transfer of course.
