409 no_write_permission
Hi, I am using dropbox in n8n and have connected a dropbox team account. But I am getting 409 no_write_permission error. It was working fine a few days earlier but now I am getting this error for no reason. I changed nothing in n8n, nor in my dropbox settings. It was working fine a few days ago. It happened before too, and it got resolved after reconnecting and create a new node. But I am getting the same error again. Why am I getting this error and what is the fix. Please help me out! complete error: 409 - "{\"error_summary\": \"path/no_write_permission/.\", \"error\": {\".tag\": \"path\", \"reason\": {\".tag\": \"no_write_permission\"}, \"upload_session_id\": \"pid_upload_session:ABIJdIKguQwyyRnlJPP0VU6cKu7yvOT0Xo4yZCllqv3074TJtg\"}}"

Receiving Too Many Mounts error even though I do not have more than 1500 folders.
My app uses the Dropbox API to create folders, upload files and share the folders and recently I started getting an error message about exceeding the tree size. After getting this I re-organized a bunch of folders so I no longer have more than 1500 folders within 1 parent folder. I am able to create and share more folders if done through the web interface, but it doesn't seem to work through the API even after moving folders around. I get the following response when calling the /sharing/share_folder endpoint. Is there something weird going on where Dropbox 'remembers' where a folder was when it was originally shared, and even though I've moved it, it still counts as a shared folder within it's prior parent folder? {"error_summary": "too_many_mounts/tree_size_exceeded/.", "error": {".tag": "too_many_mounts", "too_many_mounts": {".tag": "tree_size_exceeded", "limit": 1500, "current_count": 1500, "new_count": 1501}}, "user_message": {"locale": "en", "text": "Your Dropbox account has reached the limit for shared folders."}} <br />

Shared folder access with Token
Hi! I seem to have a simple access problem with my Token. I am part of a team which has a shared folder which I am trying to access with the API, and while I have it working for files in my own directory: "MY NAME/Folders/Files" the Token doesn't seem to have access to the: "DATA/Folders/Folders/etc" where DATA is shared with me (both through team membership and explicitly) Eventually I'm simply trying to do a recursive files_list_folders() to analyze the storage. In the app console I have both "files.metadata.read" and "sharing.read" turned on, which should be the relevant permissions (and I did re-generate the Token after changing the permissions). Is there something I am missing? Thanks, Martin

App folder to a org folder
Hello, I have a folder that stores builds from my pipeline. This folder was created by a Dropbox app I created. The folder sits under my personal folder and I want it to be a org level folder so other team members can access it. Is there a way to do that? Cheers,

Error downloading files using the dropbox library in python
Hi, I am trying to access the files in my shared folder (which I mount) using the python library. I keep getting the following error - dropbox.exceptions.BadInputError: BadInputError('xxxxxxxx', 'Error in call to API function "files/download": Must provide HTTP header "Dropbox-API-Arg" or URL parameter "arg".') I am sure that I am using this correctly because it used to work till a couple of days ago. What would be the problem?

Determine if file has finished synchronising
I have a simple problem: I store some data in DropBox which is shared between multiple people Several times people have started editing the data bnefore it has finished synchronising What I want is a simple routine which I can add to my application which determines whether a named file is synchronised, i.e. it is the same as the cloud version. If the file isn't synchronised I will simply wait for the automatic synchronisation to complete. The application is written in C# and is running on Windows 7 and 10 I have looked quite hard but I cannopt find an answer to this, apparently simple, question apart from "look at the DropBox App" which is precisely what my users dont do!

Uploading files to a shared folder through API
Hello, How can I specify a shared folder path while uploading a file through API. When I pass my path as "/test/version1", it is by default going to my home folder of dropbox and creating the path there. So where can I specify my shared folder name (the folder shared by others). Best Regards, Dileep
