Hi Здравко ,
When I am trying to upload CSV and TEXT with same approach it is working but for PDF and other files which aren't text it is not working.
You mean for PDF I need to decode the data I am getting?

Anonymous One, I serious doubt you don't understand the meaning of the term 'encoding'. More precisely the fact that this word meaning can vary depending on what's going work on about. Ok, I will try summarize in brief. A file is place where some data can be stored (any type of data; depending on this type, corresponding file type is assigned). Example data (and corresponding file type(s)) are text, image, archive, etc. All files (as everything digital) keep inside themself some sort on different numbers. When we're talking for text (all kind of text), file keep a sequence of number representing particular sequence of glyphs. The map that represent matching between numbers and glyps is called text encoding. All files (including text and binary) can be represented in different forms (when desirable). Their original form is called raw form. For example, if you want to ensure that particular file can be passed through a text stream, the number sequence representing file can be mapped to other sequence and vice versa. Such an example is base64 encoding. These are 2 completely different types of encodings!!! As seems you cannot make difference between and think for them as for a single thing - something erroneous!
Again, Dropbox expect the file's raw form either binary or original text encoding.
Let's hope this sheds additional light.
