Folders

I am surrently using:

 

 Private Shared Sub FileUploadToDropbox(ByVal filePath As String, ByVal fileName As String, ByVal fileSource As String)
        Dim dbx = New DropboxClient("<REDACTED>")
        Dim fs = New FileStream(fileSource, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
        Dim updated = dbx.Files.UploadAsync((filePath + ("/" + fileName)), WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, body:=fs)

End Sub

 

To upload a folder and file.

 

How can I then share this folder with a specific email addres, I wish to then notifiy that email address that a share has been created for them.

    To share a folder with a specific Dropbox account using the .NET SDK, you should use ShareFolder to share the folder (once per folder), and then AddFolderMember to invite member(s) to the folder. 

     

    By the way, I redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should disable the access token that you posted. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here, or, you can disable just this access token using the API, e.g., using TokenRevoke.

      How do I add a member

       

      members As IEnumerable(Of AddMember),

        That would look something like this:

         

        var members = new[] { new AddMember(new MemberSelector.Email("email@example.com")) };
        await this.client.Sharing.AddFolderMemberAsync(sharedFolderId, members);
