Dropbox API Upload Errors using .NET SDK
Hello Greg-DB,
We already have a Dropbox solution on production system that fetches and restore files.
Our solution uses Dropbox API SDK for .NET - https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotn...
- 4 years ago
All Dropbox API calls use HTTPS, so they go to port 443 on the relevant Dropbox API servers, which, for uploading and downloading file content via the official .NET SDK, is content.dropboxapi.com.
As for the error you're getting, can you let me know what version number of the SDK you have installed, and share the relevant code snippet that's running when you see this? Thanks in advance!

Thank-you for the information !
I am pasting a snippet below from AssemblyInfo.cs of Dropbox API SDK which suggest its v2 SDK.
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("Dropbox.Api")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Official Dropbox .Net v2 SDK")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Dropbox Inc.")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("Dropbox.Api")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Dropbox Inc")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("4.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("4.0.6562")]I again got failure today while doing uploads on my both new QA servers.
The uploads surprisingly worked fine yesterday.a. Our code that calls Dropbox API SDK method.
DropboxClient client = new DropboxClient(accesstoken, config);
FileMetadata fileMetadata = await client.Files.UploadAsync(remotePath, mode: WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, autorename: false, body: stream);b. Dropbox API SDK method stack:
- FileUserRoutes.cs
public t.Task<FileMetadata> UploadAsync(string path,
WriteMode mode = null,
bool autorename = false,
sys.DateTime? clientModified = null,
bool mute = false,
col.IEnumerable<global::Dropbox.Api.FileProperties.PropertyGroup> propertyGroups = null,
io.Stream body = null)
{
var commitInfo = new CommitInfo(path, .....
return this.UploadAsync(commitInfo, body);
}
- FileUserRoutes.cspublic t.Task<FileMetadata> UploadAsync(CommitInfo commitInfo, io.Stream body)
{
return this.Transport.SendUploadRequestAsync<CommitInfo, FileMetadata, UploadError>(commitInfo, body, "content", "/files/upload", "user", global::Dropbox.Api.Files.CommitInfo.Encoder, global::Dropbox.Api.Files.FileMetadata.Decoder, global::Dropbox.Api.Files.UploadError.Decoder);
}
- DropboxRequestHandler.csasync Task<TResponse> ITransport.SendUploadRequestAsync<TRequest, TResponse, TError>(
TRequest request,
Stream body,
string host,
string route,
string auth,
IEncoder<TRequest> requestEncoder,

IDecoder<TError> errorDecoder)
{
..
var res = await this.RequestJsonStringWithRetry(host, route, auth, RouteStyle.Upload, serializedArg, body)
.ConfigureAwait(false);
..
..
}
- DropboxRequestHandler.csprivate async Task<Result> RequestJsonStringWithRetry(

RouteStyle routeStyle,
string requestArg,
Stream body = null)
{..
..
return await this.RequestJsonString(host, routeName, auth, routeStyle, requestArg, body)
.ConfigureAwait(false);

}
- DropboxRequestHandler.csprivate async Task<Result> RequestJsonString(

IEnumerable<string> requestId;if (response.Headers.TryGetValues("X-Dropbox-Request-Id", out requestId))

}return null;

Thanks for the additional information. That doesn't look like the particular version information I was looking for though. Can you share the version number of the Dropbox SDK itself, e.g., as you installed via NuGet, for instance? The latest version is currently v6.6.2.
Also, looking at the stack it looks like you are not on the latest version, so I recommend upgrading to that anyway, in case this issue is already resolved in the latest version.
Anyway, I'm trying to reproduce this but I can't seem to. It works correctly for me, even after repeating the upload call many times, so please let me know if the upgrade helps.

Hello Greg-DB
Thank-you for the information.
I upgraded the Dropbox API to v 6.6.2 and converted all my .NET projects to target .Net Framework 4.7.2.
The uploads were working fine yesterday and today morning but since last couple of hours I started getting the following exception during uploads.The exception is thrown at this line in our Business logic code.
fileMetadata = await client.Files.UploadAsync(remotePath, mode: WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, autorename: false, body: stream);
Please see exception stack trace below:
An error occurred while sending the request.

at Dropbox.Business.DropboxApi.<Upload>d__53.MoveNext() in C:\Dropbox\Business\DropboxApi.cs:line 1703The files being uploaded were 404 KB each in size.
This might be an issue local to our server or network.
What do we need to check at our end to find if this is our local issue ?For larger files we use UploadSessionStartAsync for file uploads.
With the new Dropbox API v6.6.2, UploadSessionStartAsync takes UploadSessionType as argument.
UploadSessionType can be Sequential, Concurrent or Other.
Which value should we choose for UploadSessionType and when ?Can you please help us again.
Thanks,
Gagan
