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)");

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.
