Using the "fileBlob" property is the right way to get the thumbnail data. Currently, you'll need to access it like this though: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/master/examples/typescript/download/download.ts#L10
Apologies this isn't better documented or included in the TypeScript definitions! I'll ask the team to fix that up.
