- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
(see my below reply in response to you query for uploading PDF)
1st try
let pdfData = file.load({
id: 'file cabinet file id'
}) // this will load the file
let dataContent = pdfData.getContents() // this will fetch the content of the loaded file.
let apiHeaders = {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${API_TOKEN}`,
"Dropbox-API-Arg": `{"path":"/Item Fulfillment/${pdfData.name}",
"mode":"add",
"autorename":false,
"mute":false
}`,
"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream"
} // header for the Drop Box API request
let responseData = https.post({
body: dataContent ,
url: API_URL,
headers: apiHeaders
})
In response I got code 200 PDF was uploaded in the DROP BOX but when I tried to Open the PDF got an error that '.PDF files are supported but something went wrong'.
Note - I tried same approach to upload CSV and TEXT file it worked but not working for files like PDF,DOC,ZIP etc.
2nd try
let binaryData = encode.convert({
string: pdfData.getContents(),
inputEncoding: encode.Encoding.BASE_64,
outputEncoding: encode.Encoding.UTF_8
});
(Here I tried same approach as above but tried to encode the data content and then sent it to DROP BOX)
Response - Got code 200. I was able to the open the PDF file but it was blank.
I run into the same issue. Any solution?

Hi yekai426,
Which one issue? 🤔 If you mean that you don't know how to get to raw file content (either text or other one), that's not a Dropbox API issue - ask your platform support or read their documentation. You'll get as a file whatever you provide as HTTP request body, neither more nor less (including if you put it encoded, then the file'll be encoded too in the same way). Pass the file content as is (one to one) - the only Dropbox API related requirement.
If you have some Dropbox API related question, please clarify exactly what you mean.
