API V2 nightmares......... /move I cannot seem to move anyfolders inside any files or root
Everything that I try / /folder1 /folder2 I am wanting to move folder1 into folder2..... THERE IS NO /folder2/folder1 I want this: / /folder1/folder2 I have tried all day, I am losing...
Hi Michael, the /copy and /move endpoints on the Dropbox API expect the "to_path" parameter to be the full path where you want to put the item specified by the "from_path" parameter. So, if you want to move folder1 into folder2, your "to_path" should be "/14a148a2-21bd-4e95-a16a-82081a6f9504/folder2/folder1".
As is, your request is saying you want to copy folder1 to "/14a148a2-21bd-4e95-a16a-82081a6f9504/folder2", and the API error is indicating that something already exists there.
Also, note that you said you want to move the folder, but your code is using the /2/files/copy endpoint. Moving files or folders is done via /2/files/move.
