C# api freeze on any api method.
Hey!
My program gets stucked on any dbx.Files method, for example:
var x = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(folder + "/" + file);
File is very small, 5 bytes, but it gets stuck anyways.
On upload it gets stuck as well, but data get's uploaded, I found uploaded file using dropbox web browser. What problem it can be?

I just tried this line of code and it returned successfully for me. What version number of the SDK do you have installed? Update to the latest, currently v4.9.3, if you're not on that already.
Can you elaborate on what you're seeing? Do you get any error or output at all? How are you seeing it get "stuck"? I recommend stepping through with a debugger, if you haven't already, to see where it hangs.
Also, is there anything that may be interfering with or delaying your connection to content.dropboxapi.com?
- Ch_p1Explorer | Level 3Hi Grek! Thanks for your reply.
By stuck I mean is doesnt return or executes forever. I have latest Dropbox.api version installed. I see it hangs on awaiting this function and I cant step inside to see where exactly it hangs. Do you have any suggestions?- Greg-DB

What do you mean when you say you "cant step inside to see where exactly it hangs"? Did you connect a debugger, and if so, what happened?
Are there any potential issues with your network connection? E.g., is there any firewall, proxy, or other piece of software that may be interfering? It may be worth trying this on another computer/server on a different network connection to see if that may be the issue.
