Simple c# example to create a folder in dropbox from a console application

ThirdMonkey

Hi,

 

I am new to the API and trying to understand how to create a basic connection to dropbox to create a folder and then save some files into this folder.

I have created an App as this will only need to create folders/files in a specific location.

Does anyone have a simple example of this without needing to redirect to a login screen as I just want to use the auth token provided on the app details page.

I am doing this in C# and it will be for an automated task that runs once a week.

 

Thanks in advance!

If you're working in C#, we recommend using the official Dropbox .NET SDK, if you can. 

There's an example of using that to create a folder here.

Typically, you would implement the OAuth app authorization flow to allow any abitrary user to connect their own account, but if you are only running this yourself and only need to connect to your own account, you can just always pass in your own access token.
