Bug with Dropbox API to upload file with filename containing special characters
Hi,
The Dropbox API seems to have a bug when we try to upload File in Dropbox that have specific characters in the filename, while we can do it manually without any issue.
Example of characters: é or '
So pls suggest your Dev team to review the Dropbox API, I believe it does not work when there is special character in the filename to be uploaded (like ' or é (character with accent)), so the API needs to be reviewed.
This issue seems to happen when we upload all types of files: jpg, pdf, txt.
I noticed that when using Integrately (Zapier competitor) that uses the Dropbox API. Sometimes it returns a success code, sometimes a 200 code.
Thanks.

Hi solneve,
Hm.. 🤔 Let's see...
If you want to upload a file in you Dropbox folder named... let's say "é.txt", would you mind try using "/\\u00e9.txt" as file name and check what's going on? 🧐
Good luck.
Depending your environment you may need one or two backslashes! Check that. In most cases 2 are needed.
