When using the API, you'll need to use the Dropbox methods for browsing the filesystem, getting a path, and downloading it. (The API doesn't mount Dropbox to the local filesystem). See here for the Dropbox .NET SDK overview and here for examples.

Hi, and thank you!  But those example are 1000s of lines each.  I'm just trying to find the C# code to create a subfolder within Dropbox (if necessary); and upload a file to that Dropbox subfolder.  Does anyone have the "important" code to do that?  Like the "using" statements, etc.

 

Thanks again,

Steve.

    Specifically, to create a folder in the connected Dropbox account using the .NET SDK, you'd want to use the CreateFolderV2Async method. And to upload files, you can use the UploadAsync method. Those are links to the documentation for each method for more information on the options offered by each. You can also find the relevant parts of the examples here and here.
