Dim token As String
token = "sl.B6........."
Dim _command As String
_command = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder"
Dim Request As HttpWebRequest
Request = HttpWebRequest.Create(_command)
Request.Method = "GET"
Request.KeepAlive = True
Request.ContentType = "application/json"
Request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36"
Request.AllowAutoRedirect = True
Request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " & token)

Здравко is correct; be sure to refer to the documentation for information on how to properly construct these requests.

The endpoint for folder listing is RPC call style endpoint. RPC on Dropbox uses POST request and it's mandatory 'path' to be passed in JSON style to the request body. Fix your code.
Good luck.
