I have the same issue and after some hours fiddling around I was able to fix workaround it. I'm uploading a JSON file to a dropbox account and i used a TextEncoder like this:

 

 

var myFile_Encoded = new encoding.TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(myFile));
dbx.filesUpload({
  path: DBX_FILEPATH,
  contents: myFile_Encoded,
  mode: 'overwrite',
});

  

This seemed to do the trick and it even worked with multibyte characters that require UTF-8. e.g. ä, ö, ü.
 
Don't know whether that helps you.
