Hi
My app is working on my computer fine.. but when installed on another users computer the
command
var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync("/DotNetApi/" + szTemplate);
returns path not found
When looking at the files in Windows Explorer or on Drop box it says the files / folders are only accessible to myself
(so, I was wondering if I need to set them to shared or something?)
using Dropbox.Api (6.37.0)

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe Dropbox API/SDKs, such as the Dropbox .NET SDK you're using, list files by communicating with the Dropbox API servers, not the local filesystem.
If the ListFolderAsync method is raising a path/not_found error, that indicates that there is nothing found at the specified path in the connected account. In this case, that would be the path identified by `/DotNetApi/" + szTemplate`, and the account for whichever access token/refresh token you're using in that particular installation.
To list the root, you can call ListFolderAsync and instead specify a path value of the empty string "".
If you need to check which account you're connected to, you can use the GetCurrentAccountAsync method.
The File Access Guide may also be helpful for information on how interacting with files via the Dropbox API works.
