Could not create SSL.TLS secure channel?
I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I am seeing this error message when attempting to run DownloadFileFromFoldersAsync()

The error message, "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel," typically means that your client application cannot establish a secure HTTPS connection with the server (our API in this case). This could happen due to a variety of reasons, such as (but not limited to):
- Incompatible or outdated TLS versions on your system.
- Missing or invalid SSL/TLS certificates.
- Firewall or proxy configurations blocking secure connections.
To help rule out any environmental issues, a great starting point would be to send a cURL request directly to our API endpoint from the affected system. If the request is successful, this indicates the problem is most likely with your integration or application environment.
