    I've moved your comment to its own thread since it's no longer related to the original thread.

     

    How did you install the Dropbox library, and how are you setting up your client object?

      Greg-DB Looks like this for the most part...

       

      import { Dropbox, DropboxAuth, files } from 'dropbox_new';

      import fetch from 'node-fetch';
       
       
      export class DropboxApi {
      private client: Dropbox;
      private manager: Manager;
      private constructor(client: Dropbox) {
      this.client = client;
      }
      static async initialize({ accessToken, }: DropboxCredentials) {
      return new DropboxApi(new Dropbox({ accessToken, fetch }));
      }
       
       
       
      async getThumbnail(path: any) {
      return this.manager.execute(async () => {
      const data: any = this.client
      .filesGetThumbnail({ path })
      .then((response: any) => {
      console.log('got filesGetThumbnail response:');
      console.log(response);
      console.log('got thumbnail data:');
      console.log(response.fileBlob);
      })
      .catch(error => {
      console.log('got filesGetThumbnail error:');
      console.log(error);
      });
