Hi, @Fredito Did you get this worked out? If not, I have a quick example from Postman using this API. I am happy to share what my successful upload request looks like.

Best,

Jaycee

Hi Jaycee, could you please send me that example in Postman?

Hey @Jaycee_Lewis I am in the same boat. I keep trying to use the /files/v3/files endpint but everytime without fail no matter how I format the request I get a ‘bad request’ response and the content is always empty. Could you show me your example or provide assistance. I can start a new thread and post code if that would be more helpful.

I am dealing with the same issue - would be great to have a resolution

using private app, and all scope are on.

Hey @Heather_H I don’t know the context of your use case, but I just tested this in Postman and it was successful:
