"files/list_folder": Path root is not supported for sandbox app

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Problem in listing folders and files.

ERROR : : Failed to list directory: Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": Path root is not supported for sandbox app.

I'm using dropbox app as "Scoped App (App Folder)"

Dropbox Permissions:

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

rclone v1.58.1

  • os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 4.15.0-177-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.9
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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 serve http dropbox:/ --addr 0.0.0.0:80

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[dropbox]
type = dropbox
client_id = REDACTED
client_secret = REDACTED
token = {"access_token":"REDACTED","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"REDACTED","expiry":"2022-06-17T00:45:36.112925057-03:00"}

A log from the command with the -vv flag

2022/06/16 23:40:14 ERROR : : Failed to list directory: Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": Path root is not supported for sandbox app.

I don't think we've tested that...

Try removing the trailing / from dropbox:/

Also do simple things like rclone lsf dropbox: work?

Removing the / worked. :smiley:
