Is this error occurring for all the files? or just the tar files?

[RichardBronosky]

I only tried the one file. I then wrote my own (but it doesn't sync bidirectionally).

It's happening here too, my python venv files are not able to upload it just goes on a loop :<

Its not only tar files its .py, .egg etc files too:- I also noticed that most of these files are 0 bytes not sure if all, or its just a thing about venv, but I do think that might be the problem @harsimrans

@Shobhim Could you please comforme that your iptables_manager.tar file is of 0 bytes size?

Also, This takes place between lines 203 to 207 in the upload function:

def upload_file(dbx, file_path, path):   
    ''' code here... '''

    f = open(file_path)
    file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)

    CHUNK_SIZE = 4 * 1024 * 1024

    if file_size <= CHUNK_SIZE:
        try:
            print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(), path, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode.overwrite))
        except:
            print("Error uploading file: ", file_path)

    ''' code here... '''

[bxff]

when I print out the error it comes out to be this:

expected request_binary as binary type, got <class 'str'>

The fix was very easy, all it had to do is open the file with 'rb' so that it reads binary of the file. Heres a PR for the issue #21

@bin0x00 Thanks for debugging and putting up the PR. I have merged the PR!
