I resolved the problem by registering another app on Dropbox with "Full Dropbox" permissions, and updating my app to use the new app key.

Until today, the API was allowing me to upload and download, via SwiftyDo, with only "file type" permissions. It sounds like that was a bug that was recently closed.
