    I'm not sure I understand your message. You mentioned paths with a "c:/" prefix, which seems to indicate a local Windows filesystem path, not a Dropbox path. Dropbox itself does not use letter-based drive roots like "c:".

     

    For information on interacting with and detecting changes on the Dropbox filesystem, I recommend checking out these guides first:

     

    Otherwise, I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'd need some more information. In that case, please reply with:

    • the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
    • the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
    • the full text of any error or unexpected output
