I've moved your comment to its own thread since it's no longer related to the original thread.
How did you install the Dropbox library, and how are you setting up your client object?
@Greg-DB Looks like this for the most part...
import { Dropbox, DropboxAuth, files } from 'dropbox_new';
What version of 'dropbox' did you install, and how did you install it? Also, why is it 'dropbox_new' instead of just 'dropbox'?
You should ideally install the latest version, via npm, and then not manually pass in the fetch yourself. See here for a note on this: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/main/UPGRADING.md#5-default-behavior-for-fetch
@Greg-DB the latest version 9.2.0. We're using a monorepo structure and instaling with yarn and so i had to add the package local to this repo by aliasing the package name, so it wouldnt keep pointing to the older versions of dropbox that are being used elsewhere in the root directory.
Can you confirm node-fetch is also successfully installed? The 'dropbox' library lists it as a dependency (currently "^2.6.1"). And have you tried not passing in 'fetch' explicitly as noted?
@Greg-DB it is! Using: "node-fetch": "2.6.1".
In the past when I've tried I've received a different error. and i just tried it again and got this: `TypeError: _this.fetch is not a function`.
Thanks for checking that. It's not clear why this is failing. Can you inspect what your 'fetch' or '_this.fetch' is in fact, if not a function?
fetch is either a Function or undefined! @Greg-DB
Here is an error message to add more context - i dont understanad what "dropbox_fetch" is. When i dont include fetch in the constructor I still receive an error regarding fetch.
