Hi DavidThielen,
Using some SDK (including .NET) is for convenience only. You are not obligated to use it! Only mandatory thing to use is API. It's the only way to "talk" to Dropbox server.

You can use WebRequest class from the core. Example for POST request can be seen here. You should format your request according the Dropbox documentation referred above.
Hope this helps.
