Dropbox: Unsolicited response received on idle HTTP channel ... corrupted on transfer: dropbox hash differ

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

For a long time I've had no issues, and suddenly today without any changes I can no longer copy some files from a Dropbox source. A bunch of garbage gets printed in the terminal, such as:

The errors always occur on the same files, and it's not consistent what type of files these are. Other files still work fine.

If I add --ignore-checksum, then there are no errors but the files are corrupt.

Another thread suggested adding --http-no-head which didn't help.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.57.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 2009 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22621.1555 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.2
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Dropbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone -P copy dropbox:/Staging/Textures/japanese_hackberry_bark ./ --transfers 18

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[dropbox]
type = dropbox
token = {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2023-04-25T15:10:23.0360496+02:00"}

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Update rclone as you have an old version and Dropbox has an API issue going on.

Closing as a duplicate for now.
