Hi!
When you call
file_upload, you're actually uploading the file's name as a string. Each file is coming out to 16 bytes because the strings are being generated bysecure_filenameand are probably a standard length.You can fix it by changing the first variable you're passing to
file_upload.dbx_client.files_upload(f.encode(), path)
should be
dbx_client.files_upload(uploadedfile.encode(), path)
It looks like you're just working with the filename
