    Hi vherasme,

    What is the file name you want to upload to (not the local one - 'myspreadsheet.xlsx')? You point only directory ("/my/folder/"), but not the file in side! "path" have to point to file where local content will be uploaded to. :wink:

    Hope this casts some light.

    I thought it was set automatically as you had to choose the file in the UI. Thanks a lot for your help.
