Hi!
I found what was the problem. These github issues sum it up:
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/issues/1135
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/issues/1137
Root cause in the sdk code: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/6bfaf895b757d7bd1e65002847a7c801813cc210/src/response.js#L51
Basically in the bun runtime and since a specific node version and above the .buffer function on the response object was deprecated in favor for .arrayBuffer and it has not been fixed on the js sdk.
I created my own filesDownload function to handle the response correctly and problem solved for now. I'll be on the lookout for the PR that solves the issue on the sdk.
