How to move file from one dropbox folder to another using c#.net

Hi,

 

I am using dropbox api in my c# code to upload files in dropbox. Now I want to move file from one dropbox folder to another dropbox folder using my c#.net code. I am using moveAsync of DropboxClient. But file not moving .Received error "to/conflict/folder/...".

 

Can anyone help on that.

sharing my source code:

 

public async Task MoveFile(DropboxClient client, string FromPath,string ToPath)
{
try {
var result = await client.Files.MoveAsync(FromPath, ToPath);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw (ex);

}

}

 

Please help. Thanks !

    A 'to/conflict/folder' indicates that the move failed because "There's a folder in the way.". That is, your 'ToPath' value is the path to an existing folder. That value should be the full path and name where you want put the item. For example, if you want to move the file inside an existing folder at "/folder", the value should be like "/folder/file.ext" (not just "/folder").
