Hi giahh,

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with Dropbox, but I'll need some more information:

  • Could you confirm if you are seeing errors when the file is downloaded by accessing the link directly?
  • Could you clarify how the file was uploaded to Dropbox? E.g., Dropbox API, desktop client, mobile client, or web.
  • Is the error only with this specific file? Or is it happening with any files you are attempting to download from Dropbox?

I was able to download the file in question, but was unable to open it due to it being password-protected.

Hello, the compressed file is ok. The password protected was correct. But the problem with downloaded (file corruption) only happened when downloading using the httpclient on the C# code mentioned. Have you tried it?
