Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
I am trying to create file using rest api by following request
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create(all needed headers are included)
but server is unreachable
May I need some enable in dropbox setting?
You don't need to enable anything on our side to be able to reach the Dropbox API servers. The Dropbox API servers are working correctly right now, so based on the error message you shared it sounds like you may be having a network connectivity issue. Is there anything on your network connection, e.g., firewall, proxy, anyti-virus, etc., that may be interfering with the connection to *.dropbox.com or *.dropboxapi.com?
By the way, /2/file_requests/create is for creating "file requests", not actual files. If you want to upload files, you can use /2/files/upload.
