I see you're not actually setting "Dropbox-API-Path-Root", so that would default to the "home" mode, but the namespace you're trying to access may not be mounted underneath the user's home.

 

That being the case, you'll need to set the root such that the namespace will be found. You can do that like this, for example:

  • set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header to {".tag": "namespace_id", "namespace_id": "11460496721"}
  • and set the path parameter to "/coco.docx"
