New to Dropbox.Api trying the basics and getting a bit stuck

Hey Everyone,

I am using Dropbox.Api (Nuget) and can access my Account info (Name, Email Root Space Id) via Generated Access Token
However when I do a simple 
var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);
It returns no items though I have many folders and subfolders in my account.
I have a Dropbox Plus Personal account and have checked all the permissions in App Console.

Any ideas?

Thanks Brandon

    Hi b333fy,

    What type is your application  - full access Dropbox application or "App Folder" type? 🧐

    Keep in mind that "App Folder" app type lists just the application specific folder only, not the entire account. 😉 Do you have something put in your application folder? Put there something and try again or recreate your application with different type.

    Hope this helps.

    You hit the nail on the head thank you.  I re-created my App in App Console and it all started working. Thanks so much
