HttpRequest r = new HttpRequest();
r.setEndpoint(token);
r.setHeader('Authorization','Bearer ' +accesstoken);
r.setheader('content-type','application/octet-stream');
r.setheader('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify({\'path\': response.data.entries[i].id}));
r.setMethod('POST');
r.setTimeout(60000);*/

Hello,

You're writing this in Apex, correct? 

That error means that the value being sent back with the "Dropbox-API-Arg" header isn't valid JSON. 

The `JSON.Stringify()` method you're using doesn't exist in all languages. Instead, Apex has a method called `JSON.Serialize()`. You can read about it here

Try changing the method and see if that helps.
