Dropbox Community ModeratorUnfortunately I don't know what may be causing this and I can't reproduce this using the code you shared. Please share a sample project that demonstrates the issue so we can reproduce it here and investigate.
Hi Greg!
I returned with piece of code. Can u please point out what is wrong. My application stuck on awaiting download.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
NotMain();
}
static async void NotMain()
{
var dbx = new Dropbox.Api.DropboxClient("mysecrettoken");
var x = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync("/Folder/File"); // Exits here with code 0.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(await x.GetContentAsStringAsync()); // Never outputs nothing
}

Thanks! I just gave this a try though, and it successfully downloads the file and outputs the file content for me and then exits the program. It doesn't hang for me, so it does sound like there is something about your environment causing the issue.
(For reference, NotMain is async but your call to it isn't awaited so I added a System.Console.ReadLine(); to Main after the NotMain(); call in order to wait for it to complete. Without that, the program completed execution before the API call did.)
Just use this code
var dbx = new DropboxClient(AccessToken);
var response = dbx.Files.GetTemporaryLinkAsync(File).Result;
return response.Link;
