Read from Stream downloaded from Dropbox in memory

I am downloading a file using DownloadAsync() and am getting the Stream from it using GetContentAsStreamAsync(). When I put the Stream into a StreamReader, I cannot read any of the lines.

I have tried to copy the file to another Stream variable to no avail. At the point of Reading the lines in the StreamReader, my DropboxClient is still open so the file should still be in memory.

How do I go about reading the file?

    This can be archived. I realised that when I was doing my upload (after I had read the file first time), I was forgetting to put the position back to 0 so the file was uploading 0 bytes of data.
