Improper content upload when using dropbox upload_file API

When I use the file_upload api to upload a file by first opening it with:

with open(temp_file_path, 'rb') as local_file:

file_data_local = local_file.read()

The file uploads to the correct place in dropbox.

However, when I get my file from a post request and try to read it and pass it into file upload the contents of the file are incorrect. Something is getting created but when I click on the file the following message is displayed: .xlsx files are supported but something went wrong.

I tried to download the file created and open it but it will not open as the format/content is unrecognizable.
