Error to send larger file under python

Yann_PGS

Hi Dropbox Team,

i'm using a script to send larger files (more 1 GB) but i have an error :

 

Script i use :

import dropbox, sys, os
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('MY KEY')
file_path = 'My local file_path'
f = open(file_path, "rb")
file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
dest_path = 'My Dropbox dest_path'
CHUNK_SIZE = 4 * 1024 * 1024

if file_size <= CHUNK_SIZE:

    print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(), dest_path))

else:

    upload_session_start_result = dbx.files_upload_session_start(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE))
    cursor = dropbox.files.UploadSessionCursor(session_id=upload_session_start_result.session_id,
                                               offset=f.tell())
    commit = dropbox.files.CommitInfo(path=dest_path)

    while f.tell() < file_size:
        if ((file_size - f.tell()) <= CHUNK_SIZE):
            print(dbx.files_upload_session_finish(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE),
                                            cursor,
                                            commit))
        else:
            dbx.files_upload_session_append(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE),
                                            cursor.session_id,
                                            cursor.offset)
            cursor.offset = f.tell()

The error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "upload-bakcup-dropbox.py", line 31, in <module>
    print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(), dest_path))
  File "C:\Users\Administrateur\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\dropbox-0.0.0-py3.6.egg\dropbox\base.py", line 2076, in files_upload

pload_session_id='AAAAAAAAAeBQJPdCxI5KAQ')))

Could you help me ?

Thanks

This path/conflict/folder error indicates that the upload failed because there is already a folder at the path where you're trying to upload the file (specified by `dest_path` in your code):

https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html#dropbox.files.WriteConflictError

If you're trying to upload the file into that folder, you'll need to include the full desired path, including the file name. E.g., `"/folder/file.ext"`, instead of just `"/folder"`.
