Help with python script uploading images to already created folders
I am looking for some assistance with a script i am trying to get to work to transfer images from a windows server to a dropbox account. For the life of me i cannot get it to stop creating new folder...

That what I said is you can't append to a file, nothing more. You can have whatever you want wherever you want. Just every next version should be uploaded anew.

I apologize, i am just not understanding what it is you are trying to say. You have to act like you are talking to a child with me haha.

DeeG2009 Здравко was pointing out that the Dropbox API does not offer functionality for just appending additional data to an existing file on Dropbox. For example, if there's an existing files uploaded on Dropbox that is 5 bytes long, there isn't a way for your app to upload just an additional 1 byte to make the resulting file 6 bytes long. You would need to upload the whole 6 bytes.
It's not clear to me if you necessarily need such a feature but regardless you of course control the execution flow of the logic in your code. You can write logic to issue 1 or 10 or however many calls to the Dropbox API as/when you need, in whatever order.
