Hi Adi4,

Keep in mind that download method, you're using, returns DbxDownloader object representing the entire response, not directly the content! This object contains the file metadata as well as stream usable for fetch the actual file's content. As seems, you handle object as data - something that stringify current object state (usually the metadata).

Hope this gives direction.
