Python 3.5 API upload error
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with the a Pi Camera to record surveillance images and occasionally upload them to my Dropbox account. The Python script runs until it's time to upload the images to Dro...
Thanks! I see you're referencing a Dropbox web site URL in your path. When identifying files by path on the Dropbox API, you should not use Dropbox web site URLs like this.
You only need to write them relative to "root", so e.g., you might use a value like "/Pi Image Search/123.jpg", to upload a file into a folder named "Pi Image Search", or just "/123.jpg" to upload a file into whatever root your app has.
Not sure where to find the files_upload string. The Dropbox upload section of the script is this:
# upload the image to Dropbox and clean up the temporary image
print("[UPLOAD] {}".format(ts))
path = "/{base_path}/{timestamp}.jpg".format(
base_path=conf["dropbox_base_path"], timestamp=ts)
client.files_upload(open(t.path, "rb").read(), path)
t.cleanup()

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks, I am referring to that 'path' variable you're passing in to files_upload.
Can you share the actual value in 'path' after that 'format' call? I.e., "print(path)" just before you call files_upload.
