Upload sometimes needs pressing enter to proceed.
My uploading code seems working. But the uploading progress often suspends and it only continues after I press enter.
The progress display is like this:

9 years agoThanks! Calls to Console.ReadLine like that would cause the requirement of console input like that, but based on your output it doesn't look like these particular instances of Console.ReadLine are the cause. Do you have Console.ReadLine anywhere else in your code?
Also, I do recommend using the debugger to step into your app while it's executing to see exactly where/when this happening.

OK! Thanks!
Another trivial question, should I write encryption code to secure uploading files? Or does Dropbox API provide some encrption functions?

All Dropbox API calls require TLS, so everything is encrypted in transit.
We also always recommend that users use device encryption, so that any copies of files stored on their local devices would be encrypted too.
You can find more information about the security of Dropbox systems themselves at the following links:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/27
https://www.dropbox.com/help/1968
If you want an additional layer of encryption in your app itself, that's up to you.
