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 myMembers = New AddMember(New MemberSelector.Email("EMAILADDERESS"), Nothing)
dbx.Sharing.AddFolderMemberAsync((filePath + ("/" + fileName)), myMembers, False, "Docs UPloaded")
Seem to get an error, not sure what to do here:
Error BC30512 Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'AddMember' to 'IEnumerable(Of AddMember)'.
Even casting to 'IEnumerable(Of AddMember)' causes error
Can you help

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe 'members' parameter does require a IEnumerable<AddMember>, but it appears you're only supplying a AddMember, not in an IEnumerable.
I'm not a Visual Basic expert, but I believe you can build it like this:
Dim myMembers() as AddMember = {New AddMember(New MemberSelector.Email(emailAddress), Nothing)}
Thanks for that, apologies, I am a newby here, 1 more question, how do I get a folderID, can I quierie it based on folder name?
- Greg-DB
You can get the shared folder ID from SharedFolderMetadata.SharedFolderId (e.g., from a completed ShareFolder job, or elsewhere, such as from ListFolders/ListFoldersContinue) or from FolderSharingInfo.SharedFolderId in FolderMetadata.SharingInfo (e.g., from ListFolder/ListFolderContinue or GetMetadata).
Are there any examples in the API, have googled this, but not sure how to apply this to code.
Just want FolderID based on folder name if possible.
Dim link = dbx.Sharing.GetFolderMetadataAsync((filePath + ("/" + fileName))) Dim myMembers() As AddMember = {New AddMember(New MemberSelector.Email("EMAILADDRESS"), Nothing)} dbx.Sharing.AddFolderMemberAsync(link.Id.ToString, myMembers, False, "Docs Uploaded")Get error:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value should match pattern '\A(?:[-_0-9a-zA-Z:]+)\z'
