Upload and download large files

Nenciu D.

Hello dropboxers,

I'm using Dropbox SDK for .NET v2 and I'm trying to download a file which has 60 MB and I get an AggregateException : {"A task was canceled."} :.I've tried also to download a folder which contains only documents (a few MB) and it works .

The method for download a file:

private async Task GetFileTask(string cloudPath, string localPath)
 {
 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cloudPath) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(localPath))
 return;

try
 {
 var response = await dbxClient.Files.DownloadAsync(cloudPath);
 System.IO.Stream responseAsstrin = await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync();
 System.IO.FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.Create(localPath, (int)responseAsstrin.Length);
 // Initialize the bytes array with the stream length and then fill it with data
 byte[] bytesInStream = new byte[responseAsstrin.Length];
 responseAsstrin.Read(bytesInStream, 0, bytesInStream.Length);
 // Use write method to write to the file specified above
 fileStream.Write(bytesInStream, 0, bytesInStream.Length);
 fileStream.Close();
 }
 catch (AggregateException ex)
 {
 string message = ex.Message;
 }
 }

 Also for uploading large files.Same error.

 

Thanks

 

Am I missing something ?

Can you put a breakpoint in your catch block and inspect the exception? It should contain more useful information about the issue from the Dropbox API.
