    Problem solved.  Didn't understand that the App folder was created under the main folder Apps. Now working OK.  Thanks.

One other thing.  Inside the app looks like this.

    I use this code as well but get the same error. I use code following as :

     async Task Download(DropboxClient dbx, string folder, string file)
        {
            using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(folder + "/" + file))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(await response.GetContentAsStringAsync());
            }
        }

    and Pass perameters like :

    await Download(client, "/Apps/Retailme", "Retailme.exe");

    But there is same error path/not_found

      ABDUL_REHMAN If you're using an app with the "app folder" permission, you don't need to include the path of the app folder itself when making API calls, such as "/Apps/Retailme". The Dropbox API will automatically interpret your paths as being relative to your app folder. 

       

      So, for example, in your code you wouldn't need to include that "/Apps/Retailme". With how that code snippet is set up, you would instead specify a "folder" value of "", which would result in the final path of "/Retailme.exe" for a file inside your app folder.

    but I am getting `path/not_found/`, I tried: /home/Apps/implementation-dev, [Company]/Apps/implementation-dev, /implementation-dev, but.nothing works

      Hi raiam,

      Just list the content with empty path and follow whatever appear there. 😉 All entries have their paths set and theses paths are mandatory correct, so you can use them as they are (just copy/paste).

      Hope this helps.
