    :slight_smile: If you aren't sure what my advice mean, better keep your way of coding for now.

    Would be enough to concatenate file name to the folder path. Transform everything in your code which seems:

    dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + fileName, contents: file})

    To something like:

     

    dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + folderName + '/' + fileName, contents: file})

    Seems you just forgot it. :wink:

    Hope this helps.
