I have been using the Dropbox Connector to succesfully list files within a folder but have now started to intermittently return the error below.

Request to Dropbox returned response "com.dropbox.core.BadRequestException: Error in call to API function "files/get_metadata": request body: could not decode input as JSON"

Without changing any parameters sometimes i can connect and list files but more times it fails and returns the error. This occurs both through FME Desktop and Cloud.

I am using FME Desktop 2019.2.0.0 (20191105 - Build 19801 - WIN64

and FME Cloud FME Server 2019.2 Build 19801 - linux-x64

Hi @mwiltshire,

Sorry to hear that you've run into this! I just replied to your case with some more details, but wanted to update here as well. We've seen this intermittent error in the past, and the dropbox community forums has informed us that a fix has already been added to their SDK. We've added this fix into FME 2020, available for download here. Please let us know if that works for you!

All the best,
