Hello,

I have a weird but perhaps easy solveable problem. I have a python file with the function of take a picture with the raspberry camera when an external button is pressed and the uploads the picture to my dropbox, im using a line for this as following os.system("dropboxcommand"). My problem is this only work when im manually start the pythonfile. It doesnt work when the python file autostarts after a reboot. The dropboxcommand simply just gets ignored.

Does anybody else have this issue? What could be the problem?

I solved it. The problem occured because when the pythonfile was autostarted it didnt have a accesstoken for some reason. I added the token and now everything works again
