What was expected?

File is put to the folder successfully.

What was the work around applied?

1. Put the file to dropbox without any folder.
2. Move the file to the destination folder.

Another work around

Give the file name in the destination like dbxcli-linux-amd64 put Downloads/2019-05-20.pdf /bills-0000000000/2019-05-20.pdf

Code observations

Function validatePath(p string) in root.go trims p always.

I suppose it should retain directory name if p has it. If p does not has prefix / then only prefix it.

Code observations

Function put in put.go always takes base of first argument and prefixes with / irrespective of what the argument user passes.

I hit this too. You can work around it by appending a filename to the target, but the bigger problem to me was that it did the full upload (15 GB) and then failed at the end.

@Yostage I just hit the same issue. I uploaded 17 GB just to learn that I had to specify a filename, not just a directory, as the target.
