- It's not possible to cancel an ongoing request instantly unfortunately, but the long poll request will eventually close or time out on its own. I'll pass this along as a feature request for actual CancellationToken support in the SDK though.

I had a threading issue with the DropboxLongpollReportChanges() method. Still, it would be nice to know if the longpoll task is actually getting cancelled so that it doesn't waste resources.
