Malformed file when uploading excel file with python sdk

[Flya]

Hi there,

I get a malformed file when I try upload a simple excel file with python sdk

my code looks like:

xls = 'Path\\xxxxx.xlsx'		
	try:
		with open(xls, 'r') as upxls:
			dbx.files_upload(upxlsx.read(),'/test.xlsx', mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite"))
     except Exception as e:
	    print e	

Is there a bug in my code or the dropbox python module?

You probably need to use open(xls, 'rb') instead of open(xls, 'r'). (Note the 'b' in the mode.) Try that out and let me know if it doesn't help.

Having the same issue, using the same code OP uses and I tried open(xls,'rb') but it's still coming out as corrupted. Any ideas how to sort it?
