A quick question, I am using this Files.DownloadZipAsync inside a web application.
Once I obtain the data from "await response.GetContentAsStringAsync();"
How do I convert the stream data to be a physical url link like how the API v2 Explorer did via a blob URL?
Any leads to an example or method resources would be great.

8 years agoThe ability to create a blob URL is something native to browsers. You're writing in C#/.NET, outside of a browser, so this will work very differently.
Exactly how you do something like that will also depend on your scenario. For example, since you're building a web app, you can use your web framework to make the data available at some URL. That's outside of what I can help with as Dropbox API support, so I recommend referring to the documentation for the web framework that you're using.
