shivanitanwar The /2/files/download endpoint is still the right way to download file content from the Dropbox API. (By the way, that's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.) Refer to my earlier messages in this thread for some more resources. You may also find the Getting Started and File Access guides helpful
