A .NET SDK for integrating with the Dropbox API v2.

Support Platforms

Setup

To get started with Dropbox.NET, we recommend you add it to your project using NuGet.

To install Dropbox.Api, run the following command in the Package Manager Console:

PM> Install-Package Dropbox.Api

Creating an application

You need to create an Dropbox Application to make API requests.

• Go to https://dropbox.com/developers/apps.

Obtaining an access token

All requests need to be made with an OAuth 2 access token. To get started, once you've created an app, you can go to the app's console and generate an access token for your own Dropbox account.
