Net Core 2.0 Compability?
Hi,
Is the Dropbox API 2 compatible with the NetCore 2.0? Specifically ASP.Net 2.0?
Oskar
After a quick trial run, it appears to me that the 4.9.0 release solves the dependency warnings, works with NetCore 2.1 and also works in non-windows environments. Great! You should make more noise about this.
Big thanks,
Oskar

Hi Oskar, the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK supports .NET Standard 1.1+, so it should work on .NET Core 2.0. (Note that there's a small configuration note in the documentation you may need to follow though.) Please try it out and let us know if you run in to any issues.
Hi,
I tried it and it on an empty ASP.Net Core 2.0 project and it did not work. There was some kind of error message of 4.3.0 not being compatible and then "falling back".
It compiles, but does not work.
This is why I ask. I do not have the resources to do further research on this if it doesn't seem to work in the first place - that is why I asked. Have you yourself tried?
Oskar
- Greg-DBI haven't tried ASP.NET Core 2.0 in particular. Can you share the error message you got? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Unfortunately, I can't - I rolled back my project already and did not take any screen shots.
But, it is very simple:
1) Just create any empty ASP.Net Core project
2) Upgrade it to v 2.0
3) Add Dropbox.API 4.3.0 via NuGet manager.
You will get a yellow triangle in your dependencies section in Visual Studio saying something about incompatibility and falling back.
The project will build, but any attempt to use the API will fail in a runtime exception.
Oskar
- Greg-DBThanks! We'll look into it.
I need to specify, that I only use two methods:
-GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync
-GetSharedLinkFileAsync
So, my claim "any attempt..." might be a slight exaggeration. But these calls failed at least for me.
Oskar
- Greg-DBThere's a server issue that can cause GetSharedLinkFileAsync in particular to fail right now, so that may not be related to the SDK itself.
Also, there are a number of possible expected exceptions from GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync, e.g., if the supplied link is not found, etc.
That being the case, I would recommend testing with something simpler, such as Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync.
I just tried creating a .NET Core 2.0 project in Visual Studio 7.1 for Mac on macOS 10.12.6, and the Dropbox.API library v4.3.0 worked fine with Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync. I also didn't get the yellow triangle warning you mentioned. If are you seeing any issues with the SDK itself, e.g., where even GetCurrentAccountAsync won't work, please let us know what version of Visual Studio and system you're using so we can try to reproduce it. Hi Greg,
I am the one who reported the problem with GetSharedLinkFileAsync so I am acutely aware of the problems with the API that has been going on for over a week now. This is why I am desperately seeking other options, among them upgrading to NetCore 2.0.
I am using the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 for Windows, version 15.3.2.
The exception is low level and about not being able to find relevant assemblies. I.e. the API package doesn't even load.
Oskar
- Greg-DBThanks! We'll work on reproducing that.
