Even though you pass the upload_to argument which gives a unix-style path (something like /save/path) the django utility makes sure the root of that save path matches the base path for the operating system :(. The dropbox SDK does not like a drive prefixed to the desired save path (AKA C:/path/file.name is not a valid save directory for dropbox).

onto the user specified save path. The django utility
django.utils._os.safe_join is used if the operating system is not
windows 'nt'. If the operating sytem is windows 'nt' then the passed
name will be checked against a path style specified for the dropbox SDK.
AKA the root is kept as '/' and no drive is prefixed

@johnvorsten, are you sure that import os and

class SuspiciousFileOperation(Exception):
    pass

are not needed to add?
As for me, your code didn't work until I added this code.
Thanks anyway! It works for me.

final_path = os.path.join(self.root_path, name).replace('\\', '/')

Isn't sep on Linux (Unix) just a single slash (/)?
