I have been uploading files using the API regularly but suddenly i got a bunch of exceptions, which basically said the new connection can't be established and the network is unreachable.

This "Network is unreachable" error should just indicate some issue with your network connection to the Dropbox API servers. Are you still seeing this? The Dropbox API servers are currently be served properly, so it seems to be an issue with your network connection (or ISP). For example, is there something, such as security software, or a malfunctioning proxy, that may be interfering with the connection?
