Dropbox api upload file-CodePudding

I'm trying to upload a 'txt' file to dropbox with python API. After looking everywhere I know I found nothing that works, or I just don't understand how to make it work.

with open('Hello.txt') as f:
    dbx.files_upload(f,'/PythonClass/data_src')

I have also tried this:

with open('Hello.txt') as f:
    dbx.files_upload(f.read(), folder_py_src, mode=WriteMode('overwrite'))

and this:

with open('Hello.txt', "rb") as f:
    dbx.files_upload(f.read(), folder_py_src, mode=WriteMode('overwrite'))

I'm getting an error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\User\Desktop\pytask\classprojectdropbox", line 46, in <module>
    dbx.files_upload(f.read(), folder_py_src, mode=WriteMode('overwrite'))

CodePudding user response：

The f parameter for files_upload expects bytes, so you should make sure you both open the file as binary ("rb") and then read the data out, like this:

with open('Hello.txt', "rb") as f:
    dbx.files_upload(f.read(), folder_py_src, mode=WriteMode('overwrite'))
