ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852)
Hi everyone, I am getting the following error:
C:\Python36\Dartfish\Scripts\python.exe C:/Workspace/COC-Dartfish/Dartfish/Dropbox_Download.py SBL
Traceback (most recent call last):

That shouldn't be the issue here. The files_download_to_file method does allow you to download files from shared folders. Also, the error you're getting indicates an issue establishing the secure TLS connection with the Dropbox API servers, which occurs before the Dropbox API itself validates the call or its parameters anyway.
It should say 3.6 instead of Python 3.
For context here's the code I am running
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("MY TOKEN!!")
result = dbx.files_list_folder("", recursive=True)
while result.has_more:
result = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(result.cursor)

I see from the stack trace that this error is occurring during files_download_to_file. I just gave that, as well as the other methods you included in the code snippet, a try with Python 3.6 and v10.2.0 of the Dropbox Python library on Windows though and it worked fine for me.
The error you're getting would seem to indicate that the Dropbox API servers aren't being served with a valid certificate, however that is not the case.
Is there anything on your network connection, e.g., a proxy, firewall, anti-virus, or other such software that may be interfering with your connection to the Dropbox API servers? For the files_download_to_file method in particular, it would be to the content.dropboxapi.com host.
Hi Greg,
I am doing some research on my own on the side, the folder that i want to access is a shared folder, does that make any difference? Could that be the reason why I am not able to access the file?Thanks and Regards,
