Hello,

I am facing Restricted content Error for some files in dropbox while downloading them using Dropbox API for Biz using .NET.

Files for Dropbox Customer B:
/Public/working files/software/SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2010w_SP1_W32_English_CORE_MLF_X17-76748/setup.exe

Error : path/restricted_content/

We faced this issue earlier as well and Dropbox resolved something at their end.
Why does this error occur ?

Can you please resolve the issue again.

Thanks,
Gagan

The 'restricted_content' error from the /2/files/download endpoint on the Dropbox API indicates that the file being requested "cannot be transferred because the content is restricted. For example, sometimes there are legal restrictions due to copyright claims."

If you believe you've encountered files that have incorrectly been marked restricted, please open a ticket so support can look into it for you.
