Gregory,

I have MVC setup already. My question is for example how do you get a file from a link.

Below does not help me in C#. In other words, how do I set up a simple example with the API to get the /get_shared_link_file in .NET?

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file \
