I am seeing the 415 error when I try to open the file in the dropbox UI.
Here is the metadata that was returned:

Hi ms97,
The metadata, you posted, shows that you have uploaded nothing. That's why an error appears. Hm.. 🤔 Such error can show a more useful message, but... Let's hope this will be improved and no so strange and confusing message gonna appear. 😁
Anyway, check what you're passing using 'output.read()' during your upload. As seems it's empty. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
