Hi again PIXIP,

You just enlightened a bug in Dropbox Java SDK. 😁

Yes, Dropbox rely on deprecated packages for a long time.  Actually since Python3.3, some of the packages used here are designated as deprecated. In Python3.9 those packages are already dropped. 🤷 That's where your error comes from. Let's hope Dropbox developers will fix it soon. In meantime, as a workaround, you can install Python 3.8 and use it. 😉 Make sure that python command exists and points the correct executable (sometimes only python3 exists; create proper link if needed too).

Hope this helps to some extent.

PIXIP, Did you do it? 🤔 What actually happens when you type 'python' in terminal? (just for test) Also can be seen that you miss the 'six' package! Install it. 😉
