Hi,

You are right.  The looped version is the same code above that calls the sdk, but wrapped in a for loop.  To test the functionality, I have a dropbox account that I have filled up.  I'm using the access token of that dropbox account.  If I call https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/save_url I get the appropriate error response of insufficient space.  So, we know for sure that the account is full.

Also, a little more information.  When saveurlasync doesn't throw a saveurl error, it gives me a job id. When I check the status of the job id, I do get the appropriate error.   It's just that the initial saveurlasync call isn't throwing the ApiException.  

 

Thank You.
