Edit: Redacted access token. -Greg

[Greg-DB]

Thank you for alerting us to this problem. Dropbox engineers are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.

Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

By the way, for the sake of security, you should disable that access token. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here:

https://www.dropbox.com/account/security

Or, you can disable just this access token using the /disable_access_token endpoint:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#disable-token

We've had our engineers working on this and the good news is the problem has been fixed. Please try again and you should find that this functionality works correctly.

I'm encountering the same issue, just tested. Create a empty shared folder and try to upload a file immediately to it. File is uploaded successfully, but nil response and a 500 status code.

[Greg-DB]

Thanks for the report Dave! We are aware of and working on that version of the issue as well.

[Greg-DB]

This should be resolved now. Please let me know if you're still seeing any issues.

[Thiago Roberto]

I am facing the same error now. This is the error using the java api: 

com.dropbox.core.DbxException$ServerError: {"error": "Internal Server Error"}

[Thiago Roberto]

Issue was solved

[Greg-DB]

Thanks Thiago. This was due to a general service availability issue, and is resolved now.
