There is a scoped app folder , and Im trying to access a zip file in a folder called "myfolder" in the Apps folder . In the script , I gave the dropbox path as /Apps/myfolder/download.zip , however ...
i need to download zip file from dropbox
this is the error i am receiving :
Invoke-RestMethod : {"error_summary": "path/not_found/...", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "not_found"}}}
My script looks like this

[CmdletBinding()]
Param(

[string]$FolderPath
)
$body = '{"path":"/'+$DropboxFolder+'"}'
Write-Output $body
$AuthToken = 'xxxxxxxx'
$token = "Bearer $AuthToken"
#The file will be downloaded as ZIP to the Temp folder of the user
$Tempfolder = "$env:temp\Downloaded_File.zip"
if (!(Test-Path $FolderPath)) {
Write-Verbose "Downloading the folder…"
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Method POST `
-Headers @{ "Authorization" = $token; "Dropbox-API-Arg" = $body} `
-OutFile $Tempfolder -ContentType ""
#The file will be extracted and then removed from the temp
write-verbose "Extracting the folder…"

}
$DropboxFolder = "Apps/WAE-DE-dev-win11/file.zip"
$OutputFolder = "$env:HOMEDRIVE\Softwares"
$FolderPath = "$OutputFolder\Software01"
Get-DropboxFolder -DropboxFolder $DropboxFolder -OutputFolder $OutputFolder -FolderPath $FolderPath -Verbose
Hi karver,
You have 2 errors, at least. The first one is obvious - you have pointed something that doesn't exist (likely it's the same as explained before; not mandatory, of course). The other one is the fact that you're trying to download folder content using method suitable for files only! To be able download a folder as zip file take a look on /2/files/download_zip. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
