    <description>&lt;P&gt;Using Python API.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ever since Sept 26, we have been receiving thousands of ApiError.DownloadError.get_path.is_not_found exceptions&amp;nbsp;a day when trying to retrieve files that are clearly on dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Process:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We ask for listing of what files exist.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Iterate over that list, trying to download the files&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Get thousands of error a day stating that the file we were just told existed, does not exist.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We can then try again later and the exact same file path and it works fine.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Simplified Example Code:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;client = Dropbox(token)
response = client.files_list_folder('', recursive=True)

for entry in response.entries:
    if isinstance(entry, FileMetadata):
        client.files_download(entry.path_display) # &amp;lt;&amp;lt; breaks randomly&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is becoming extremely frusterating, causing an excessive amount of additional processing, slowing our processing, and making the system look unreliable to our clients.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks for the report! I see you also opened this as a ticket, so we'll follow up there privately as we'll likely want to look into this more specifically for you.</description>
