- This path/conflict/folder error indicates that the upload failed because there is already a folder at the path where you're trying to upload the file (specified by `dest_path` in your code):
https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html#dropbox.files.WriteConflictError
If you're trying to upload the file into that folder, you'll need to include the full desired path, including the file name. E.g., `"/folder/file.ext"`, instead of just `"/folder"`.

Greg,
have you a python script to easly sync a folder ?
This folder has subdirectories (1 level) and each subdirectories has multiple lager files.
- Greg-DBI don't know if it offers the exact logic you need, but this example app may be helpful:

- Greg-DBHow big is the file you're trying to upload when this occurs? The updown sample doesn't use upload sessions, so it can only handle small files. For example, the 1 GB file you mentioned earlier would be too big. If you need it to support large files, you'll need to update it to use upload sessions.
Otherwise, this might just indicate transient server/network issues. The Dropbox content servers are working properly in my testing right now though. If you're still seeing this, there may be something interfering with your connection. Do you have anything on your network connection, e.g., firewall or proxy, that may be preventing your app from successfully connecting to the Dropbox servers?
