Recent upload problem with dropbox

Help and Support
1

Hello,
I am a linux user, who used rclone to copy/sync files from my PC to dropbox. Recently I got a error message:

2021-03-24 11:23:01 ERROR : python: Failed to copy: upload failed: path/conflict/folder/
2021-03-24 11:23:43 ERROR : Dropbox root 'SoftUni': not deleting files as there were IO errors

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.54.1

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.16

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Manjaro Linux

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 sync

Dropbox is case-insensitive meaning you can't have two files called "hello.txt" and "HELLO.txt" unlike linux.

Do you have a file called "python" and a file or directory called "Python" or "PYTHON"? I think that would cause the symptoms above.

3

Yes, I have. I will change some files and try again.

4

Is this a new thing? I have duplicates file names before (a month ago) and everything works fine.

5

No - dropbox has always been like that.

It might be that you just didn't notice in the logs?

6

I didn't see any error before.
