DropBox swift API unsupported tag error
Using the new SwiftyDropbox V2 API. Working well. But noted an error when I don't think it should be one on the download.
[request-id b192ba37c902b513d81c8fe4c67551d8] API route error - {
".tag" = "unsupported_extension";
}
A minor point, it continues anyway... the extension it doesn't like "rtf", which I admit I added to a rich text file cause I needed to parse what sort of file it was and list files API doesn't tell me enough.
The API reporting the error, this one.
let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!
_ = client.files.download(path:sourcePath)
.response { response, error in
I there a better way; I noted with the dropbox on my MBP it knows it is a RTF file, with or without the extension?

Hi Mark, the exception and unsupported_extension error you shared is actually for the files.getThumbnail method, not files.download. It looks like you're accidentally calling getThumbnail. The files.download method works for .rtf files.
