    <description>&lt;P&gt;When you register an app, you get an app key and secret that identify your app. You additionally can "Generate" an access token, which enables access to your own account. While the app key (and sometimes the secret) may be used in your app, you generally shouldn't embed your own access token in your app itself. You should instead implement &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide" target="_blank"&gt;the OAuth app authorization flow&lt;/A&gt; in your app so that arbitrary users can connect to it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1) I can help with questions about the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API, but that&amp;nbsp;doesn't include general questions about project structure like this, so I'm afraid I can't offer much insight on this one.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2) For connecting to the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API from .NET, we&amp;nbsp;recommend using &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet" target="_blank"&gt;the official&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK&lt;/A&gt;. There's documentation and examples there to help you get started. For instance,&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/blob/master/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples/SimpleTest/Program.cs" target="_blank"&gt;here's an example&lt;/A&gt; that shows how to use the OAuth flow via &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/T_Dropbox_Api_DropboxOAuth2Helper.htm" target="_blank"&gt;DropboxOAuth2Helper&lt;/A&gt;, and download a file via &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Files_Routes_FilesUserRoutes_DownloadAsync_1.htm" target="_blank"&gt;DownloadAsync&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3) I don't know what you're referring to by "RestDropBoxApi". That doesn't sound like an official&amp;nbsp;Dropbox resource. (The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API isn't a "REST" API.) As mentioned above,&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;we&amp;nbsp;recommend using&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet" target="_blank"&gt;the official&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4) We don't have videos, but you can find &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/tree/master/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples" target="_blank"&gt;working samples apps for the .NET SDK here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, I am not new to Dropbox, but I am new to implementing APIs, I am a bit confused about the process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have created my development:status App and have my token.&amp;nbsp; But I can't find solid steps on where to insert the code that was given.&amp;nbsp; I am using ASP.NET MVC 5, my questions include:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Where is the best place to insert the code - Controller?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) What exactly do I need to implement this API -&amp;nbsp; I have a documents section in my project and would like users to get access to Dropbox&amp;nbsp;as an option when clicking on 'Add Doc' button.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) I have looked at the examples, do I need the RestDropBoxApi?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) Is there a simple end to end tutorial or video available?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(I apologize in advance for all the questions, but I searched everywhere and don't know where else to turn).&amp;nbsp; I really appreciate any help on this project.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
