Dropbox API V2 GetAccountInfo() - C#
I'm migrating from Dropbox v1 to v2, how can i proceed with GetAccountInfo() to get details such as:
UserName, UserId, QuotaUsed, QuotaAvailable, SharedUse.
How do i get this with v2.
Previously by using v1 it was like:
var accessToken = new OAuthProtocol.OAuthToken(auth_Token, auth_Token_Secret); var api = new DropboxApi(dropbox_appkey, dropbox_appsecret, accessToken); var accountInfo = api.GetAccountInfo();
Thank you.

Using the Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK, you can get the account information like this using GetCurrentAccountAsync and GetSpaceUsageAsync:

Thanks for your prompt response. Can you please provide a code block/example of any of the above method call so that i can proceed with my other various API calls and complete my migration from v1 to v2.
Only one code block or example will be really helpful.
Thank you. - Greg-DBThere's an example of using GetCurrentAccountAsync here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/blob/9803a40b3169acf66a2d14e29af8750ebe6e3e17/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples/SimpleTest/Program.cs#L213
Calling GetSpaceUsageAsync works similarly, but with a different return type that contains the space information instead. Thank you for the example.
I have installed Dropbox API v2 library in a project which target framework is 4.0 and calling GetCurrentAccountAsync() as you have suggested then i'm getting exception like "Could not load file or assembly 'Dropbox.Api, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"
Do i need to change target framework to 4.5 or is there any way to fix this exception. If i will have to change framework then it will be major change for my project.- Greg-DB
The Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK officially supports .NET Framework 4+, so you shouldn't need to upgrade to 4.5.
How exactly did you install it? Also, can you confirm that you installed the latest version (currently v4.3.1)?
Hi Greg,
I have one of my winform project (framework 4.0) then added one more project name "dropboxV2" (framework 4.0) to the same solution and set this project output type as "Class Library". I went to package manager console then run "Install-Package Dropbox.Api", after completion i got "Successfully installed 'Dropbox.Api 4.3.1' to dropboxV2".
I have a class like in newly added project:
public async void GetCurrentAccount(string accessToken) { using (var client = new DropboxClient(accessToken)) { var fullAccount = await client . Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync(); } }Now i'm accessing above method from my main project as:
dropboxV2.DropboxHelper helper = new dropboxV2.DropboxHelper(); helper.GetCurrentAccount(access_token); // here i'm getting exception
What i'm doing wrong here? Please help.
Thank you.
- Greg-DBThanks! Can you try installing the SDK in both projects?
Also, I believe you'll need to at least install System.Net.Http. - No, i have managed to install Dropbox.Api v2 into my main project itself and System.Net.Http is installed too.
Thanks for your support. - Greg-DBApologies, I'm not sure I follow. Did you try installing the library into both of the projects you mentioned? Is it working now?
- Hi Greg,
I have removed the extra project which i mentioned earlier and installed Dropbox API in the main project itself, now all is working fine.
It was a conflict between Dll's of the both project. Previously v1 was referenced in my main project and v2 is referenced into another project, and i was calling another project's function from my main project. Due to this i was getting "Could not load file or assembly" exception.
But now all working fine. One more query i have about UploadAsync() which i have created a new thread.
Thank you Greg for your support.
