var dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: dbx_access_token , fetch});
console.log(document.Folder.name);
await dbx.filesListFolder({ path: `/${document.Folder.name}` })
.then(async (response) => {
console.log(response.result.entries);
console.log('Files and folders in your Dropbox account:', response);
response.result.entries.forEach(async (entry) => {
console.log(entry.name, document.title);
if ((entry.name).toString() === (document.title).toString()) {
let file_id = entry.id;
console.log(file_id);
await dbx.filesDownload({
path: `${file_id}`
}).then( (response) => {
console.log("down");
const data = response.result.fileBinary;
fs.writeFile(filename, data, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('File saved!');
});
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
}
console.log(entry.name);

Dropbox Community ModeratorIt's still not clear where the "TypeError: res.buffer is not a function" path is coming from; that doesn't reproduce for me when I run this, so it may be something specific to your environment. I recommend referring to your platform's documentation.
As for the "Error in call to API function "files/list_folder/continue": request body: unknown field 'path'" error, that's because you're supplying a "path" parameter to the filesListFolderContinue method, however that method doesn't accept a "path" parameter. It only accepts a "cursor" parameter. Please refer to the filesListFolder and filesListFolderContinue documentation for information on how to use these methods.
