Very basic question
Hi
I am trying to write a simple .Net application to use the DropBox API for csharp. I have created an Application in DropBox so I have an App key and App secret. I downloaded the dropbox-sdk-dotnet-main in a zip file. However when I try and add the package in Visual Studio using NuGet it retrun an error saying package not found. Is there another step I need to do to get NuGet in Visual Stdio to install the package.
Thanks

You can download a zip of the SDK like that if you wish to work with it directly, e.g., to modify and build it manually, run the examples, etc., however to just use the package in your own application that is not necessary. In that case, it is generally recommended to just install it from NuGet (Dropbox.Api), e.g., using 'Install-Package Dropbox.Api' as documented here, or otherwise using your IDE's GUI for NuGet, if available. (For example, Visual Studio offers a GUI for installing packages as shown here.)
