Help with python script uploading images to already created folders
I am looking for some assistance with a script i am trying to get to work to transfer images from a windows server to a dropbox account. For the life of me i cannot get it to stop creating new folder...
Hi DeeG2009,
There is a similar question here. You can take some idea out from there. 😉

If the folder you are going to upload to is there, no other will be created. If such a folder is missing, it's gonna created automatic.
Hope this helps.

This is what i am currently running, but like i said it always creates a new folder instead of uploading to the existing folder. maybe i am not getting the path to the folder in dropbox right?
