Hi Team,

tried relative and absolute path
"path": "/shirt.png"
"path": "http://localhost/test/shirt.png"
"path": "D:/test/shirt.png"
Content-Type: application/json
below is json body
{
"path": "/shirt.png"
}
after post get response like
{
"error_summary": "path/not_found/...",
"error": {
".tag": "path",
"path": {
".tag": "not_found"
}
}
}
Thank you

The /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint does not offer a way to upload files to Dropbox. It is a way to get a link that can be used to download file data from Dropbox. The 'path' value should be the relative path of the file in the connected account, which would look like "/shirt.png". A "path/not_found" error indicates that there wasn't anything found at that path in the connected Dropbox account.
If you instead need to upload to Dropbox, you can use the /2/files/upload endpoints to upload file data directly to Dropbox. (Or, if you do need a link that can be used to upload file data to Dropbox, you can use /2/files/get_temporary_upload_link.)
In any case, I recommend reading the File Access Guide for information on interacting with files in Dropbox via the API.
