Dropbox API V2 .NET SDK TaskCancelledException
This is running the .NET SDK within a Xamarin wrapper, on Android Lollipop (the code should be identical to the standard .NET SDK). I have only seen this error on one specific device and even then it...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe SDK is actually generated based on the API spec, so each method isn't implemented individually. For example, here's the implementation for any "download-style" request (such as DownloadAsync, or GetThumbnailAsync).
Ok, maybe I should read up on that a bit more. The abstraction just makes it a little harder to work out what is going on. Maybe the generated code could be put into github as well.
To get back to the original issue, one thing I observed is that some methods would work and others would not. For example, I have a ListFolderLongpollAsync method running in a loop to listen for changes. This method was working and returning when changes occurred. However as soon as it then went on to do a ListFolderContinueAsync to get the actual changes the timeout was occurring. This loop was then repeated consistently, with the ListFolderLongpollAsync working, but the ListFolderContinueAsync failing.
I will try and investigate further to see if I can find a trigger.
