Hi folks,

I am getting some obscure errors (Dropbox API I assume) using the DropboxConnector with bigish files >300 mb.

Looking at the error and the Dropbox community I am assuming FME is using the /2/files/upload endpoint which is limited to 300 mb. Can anyone confirm there is an upload size limit with the DropBoxConnector? Workaround?

Hi @braggken you're correct, the DropboxConnector is capable of uploading files up to 350mb in size as per this documentation here: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/upload-limitations#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20over%20your,must%20be%20350GB%20or%20smaller.

You may be able to workaround this by using creating your own API calls that use an Upload Session, which as a 350GB file size limit:

Hope this helps!
