tried relative and absolute path

 

"path": "/shirt.png"

"path": "http://localhost/test/shirt.png"

"path": "D:/test/shirt.png"

 

Content-Type: application/json

below is json body

 

{

    "path": "/shirt.png"

}

after post get response like 

{

    "error_summary": "path/not_found/...",

    "error": {

        ".tag": "path",

        "path": {

            ".tag": "not_found"

        }

    }

}

 

Thank you

The /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint does not offer a way to upload files to Dropbox. It is a way to get a link that can be used to download file data from Dropbox. The 'path' value should be the relative path of the file in the connected account, which would look like "/shirt.png". A "path/not_found" error indicates that there wasn't anything found at that path in the connected Dropbox account.

 

If you instead need to upload to Dropbox, you can use the /2/files/upload endpoints to upload file data directly to Dropbox. (Or, if you do need a link that can be used to upload file data to Dropbox, you can use /2/files/get_temporary_upload_link.)

 

In any case, I recommend reading the File Access Guide for information on interacting with files in Dropbox via the API.
