Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am trying to copy some files from my `Camera Uploads` folder to another folder `Videos`
first I do
const { async_job_id } = await dropbox.filesCopyBatchV2({ entries, autorename: false, });
This seems to work because I get back a long string for async_job_id
Then I do the following:
while (true) { try { let response = await dropbox.filesCopyBatchCheckV2({ async_job_id }); if (response['.tag'] != 'in_progress') { break; } await sleep(5000); } catch (error) { break; }
What happens is that I hit filesCopyBatchCheckV2 endpoint 5 or 6 times; I get back a response of in_progress each time; then I get a response with a status of 409, statusText of "Conflict" and an error_summary of internal_error.
No files get transferred.
Please help!

Hi @tiamat,
Seems, someone (one or more) file with same name reside at destination already. 😉 If you are forbidding autorename, it's coming up as an error.
Hope this helps.

@tiamat I see you already got some help here, but it's worth noting that there can be other causes of failures like this, so if you still need help tracking down what's wrong, feel free to contact us directly with the job ID.
