Server errors?
We've seen a handful of these in the past, but getting a bunch right now...
com.dropbox.core.ServerException: {"error": "The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."}
This is using the Java API:
DbxEntry.File f = getClient().getFile(path, version, output);
Has something changed? The Dropbox status page doesn't seem to indicate any issues currently

It looks like Dropbox V1 wasn't working on some or most servers. I see page resets now, and things seem back to normal.
