getting a 409 error and need help
I'm just getting started with the Dropbox API. I want to see a list of all files in my `Camera Uploads` folder (and eventually download them) via the api. I've been following some tutorials and have ...
A 'path/not_found' error indicates that there's nothing at the specified path, in this case, '/Camera Uploads'. There's a few reasons this might be the case:
- If your app has the "app folder" permission, it can only access the contents of the special "app folder" created for it inside the "Apps" folder (by default at /Apps/<app name>). It won't be able to access anything outside that, such as /Camera Uploads. If you need to access the /Camera Uploads folder, you'll need to register and use an app with the "full Dropbox" permission instead.
- The folder you're trying to access may be at a different path.
- You may be connected to a different account that doesn't have that folder.
