Solved

cannot get list of files .NET

I think my code is simple:

string token = "sl.<REDACTED>";

 

var dbx = new DropboxClient(token);

var res = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(path: "");
foreach (var entry in res.Entries)
{
Console.WriteLine(entry.Name);
}

if have no entries (Count=0) here.

I have 4 folders and 1 file in in my dropbox folder.

    brtdvrs As Здравко said, you may have registered your app for "app folder" access, in which case it would only be able to access the contents of the special app folder that gets created for it automatically. You can find more information here. App folders are empty by default.

    Hi brtdvrs,

    Does your application able to access your entire account or access only your App' folder only? 🧐 If the access is restricted, your can't see anything outside your App's folder! Recreate the application if you set it's access restricted by mistake. 😉

     Hope this gives direction.

    I have it restricted to App folder, so I created a folder with the same name on my Dropbox, that’s the way to do i guess ?
