Getting Dropbox.Api.BadInputException on DownloadAsync.
I am developing application to download an image from Dropbox in C#.
I access a folder including Japanese as follows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
string filePath = ”/漢字.jpg”;
var response = await _DropboxClient.Files.DownloadAsync(filePath);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following error occurs then.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Error in call to API function \"files/download\": HTTP header \"Dropbox-API-Arg\": could not decode input as JSON"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there any solution?

What version of the SDK are you using? If you're not on the latest version (currently 2.2.3), please update and try again.

No problem. Just to clarify, do you mean you were already using the latest version, or did you just update? I can't reproduce this issue with the latest version, but let us know if you are seeing this error with the latest version.
