We recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK. With that, to download files of any size, you should use the DownloadAsync method. There's an example of that here.
To upload files smaller than 150 MB, you can use the UploadAsync method. There's an example of that here.
To upload larger files, you need to use "upload sessions", starting with the UploadSessionStartAsync method. You can find an example of that here.
thanks!
But I still have a problem. When I calling this Task, I get an Error messege - Dropbox.Api.ApiException`1: 'path/malformed_path/.'
this is the parameters:
await ChunkUpload(dbx, "/DropBoxFolder", "@(C:\Example\exampleFile.txt)");
with or without @, it still doesn't work.
What shuold i do?

The third parameter to that ChunkUpload method is supposed to the "fileName" you want to upload the file as on Dropbox, which might look like "exampleFile.txt", for instance. You are instead supplying "C:\Example\exampleFile.txt" which is a local Windows file path, and not a valid Dropbox file name.
