TotalDrip transfer fails with "Error reading file!" even though permissions are in place

File transfers fail with "Error reading file!" when I try to copy files from Drobox to the phone.
An empty file (with the correct name) is left on the phone. Intermediary folders are created.
All Drobox files and folders can be listed. I have double checked that both the Total Commander and TotalDrip Android apps have write access on the Android disk and that the TotalDrip Dropbox app has the correct permissions in Dropbox.

Is there a log or something I can check to dig further?

Phone: Fairphone 4, Android 11, Kernel 4.19.157-perf+

Regards Christian

I can confirm this.

Samsung Galaxy S 20 with Android 12, HTC One (m1) with Android 6 and Huawei Honor 7 with Android 6.
TC version 3.30, Totaldrip version 1.08.

I cannot copy or move files either way between Dropbox and the phone (both Internal storage and SD-card), and I cannot open any of the files in Dropbox either.

Same here, although no error message; just nothing happens. Noticed today, 4/16/22.

Luddites are everywhere, monkeywrenching everything that works. Really sick of Dropbox, Android and updates from hell.

Same here. Strangely it works with the Windows "cloud" plugin, although I use my own function calls there, while TotalDrip uses the official Dropbox API code. I will check in a debugger why it fails.

The problem seems that Dropbox has disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for file transfers, only TLS 1.2 is still allowed. I have now updated the Dropbox API and added some code to support TLS 1.2 also on Android 4.1 to 4.4 as described here.

Please try the following test version, it works for me on Android 4.4, 6, and 12:

Tested this on Samsung Galaxy S 20 with Android 12 and HTC One (m1) with Android 6 - works fine :-)

Tested on Samsung A70 with Android 11 - also works fine.
