getting error when trying to download a file via api in react native
const AccessAsync = await AsyncStorage.getItem('Access');
const ACCESS_TOKEN = AccessAsync;
const DESTINATION_PATH = `${RNFS.LibraryDirectoryPath}/Data.zip`;
try {
const response = await axios.post(
{
path: '/BnD_Data/', // Path to the folder you want to list files in
recursive: false, // Set to true if you want to list files recursively
},
{
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}`, // Replace with your access token
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
}
);
if (response.status == 200) {
const filesInDropbox = []
response.data.entries.forEach(element => {
console.log(element.name)
filesInDropbox.push(element.name)
});
console.log(filesInDropbox)
const dataZipExists = filesInDropbox.includes("Data.zip");
if (dataZipExists) {
try {
const headers = {
Authorization: `Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}`,
'Dropbox-API-Arg': JSON.stringify({
path: '/BnD_Data/Data.zip',
}),
'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'

const response = await RNFetchBlob.config({

I see you're getting an error "The operation couldn’t be completed. Protocol error". This is not actually an error from Dropbox itself, so unfortunately we can't offer much insight on that. It looks like it may be an issue with your network connection/stack, so you may need to refer to the support resources for the platform you're using.
First of all thanks for your reply. now i want to ask how it's possible when i upload any file on drop box using api, after that if i use this code then it's working fine and when i try this for second time it's showing error how it's possible. is there any issue with my code?

It's not clear from this code what the issue may be. It seems like it may be a problem with the platform or network client itself.
