DownloadAsync error
I tried download all folders/files from DropBox.Api but I received this error:
Value should match pattern '\A(?:(/(.|[\r\n])*|id:.*)|(rev:[0-9a-f]{9,})|(ns:[0-9]+(/.*)?))\z'
Parameter name: path
My code is:
using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync("/folder/File.ext" ))
{
//code
}
Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks for your reply, I resolved it. This is part of my code:
I get the "PathLower" property from the metadata's files:
the path's format is: "/folder/MyFile.ext"
using (var dbx = new DropboxClient("KeyApi"))
{
var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty, recursive: true);
foreach (var item in list.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFile))
{
string urlFile = item.AsFile.PathLower;
using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(urlFile))
{
//code
}
}
}Thanks a lot.

That error is indicating that the `path` value you supplied doesn't match the expected format. The value "/folder/File.ext" would match, but it looks like that's just an example. Can you share the exact value you're supplying when you get this error?
For example, if you're supplying a file path, make sure it starts with a "/". Thanks for your reply, I resolved it. This is part of my code:
