Unfortunately, I have not yet ready code, even not working code. I ask step by step example on Visual Basic. Purpose: read file(mytxtfile.txt) from person dropbox folder. That`s all.

1. Definition of variables of Dropbox.Api Dropbox.Api. Which one minimum instances of variables do I need for my purpose ?

Dim dbx as Dropbox.Api.DropboxClient

What else ?

2. Which method do I need to use to get local copy of file from dropbox folder ?

Dim dbxFolder As dbx.Files.ListFolderResult

How to use dbxFolder to get exact file(mytxtfile.txt) ?

In general I need simple sample of code on Visual Basic how to get file. Thats all.

Thanks in advance.
