Does this happen on every attempt, or only occasionally? Can you share the full error output?

It is happening some time. Right now I am not getting error. Once I face issue, I will post you.

Hi,
I am facing same issue while I am downloading .zip file of 162MB
com.dropbox.core.NetworkIOException: Unable to resolve host "content.dropboxapi.com": No address associated with hostname
I am having there files 162MB, 300KB, 250MB , I made for loop to download each item
1. When I am trying to download first file I gotNetworkIOException.
2. For 2nd file it was downloaded.
3. It was downloaded but only 500KB, it did not download 250MB
Here is code I am working
try {
//Download file for DropBox 2
DbxDownloader<FileMetadata> downloadData = dbxClientV2.files().download(dBoxPath);
ouputStream = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
downloadData.download(ouputStream);
} catch (Exception err) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Exception thrown for file at " + dBoxPath + " err msg :" + err.getMessage());
success = false;
} finally {
if (ouputStream != null) {
ouputStream.close();
}
}NetworkIOException might be issue in Internet. But why it was downloaded only 500KB instead of 250MB. Please suggest me
Thanks

The error message for the NetworkIOException you posted does indicate a DNS issue. The content.dropboxapi.com hostname is resolving correctly though, so it does seem to be intermittent DNS issues on your side.
Regarding the incomplete download, your code looks fine. I just tried it with a 250 MB file and it's working for me.
If the download doesn't complete, you should get some error message. What error/output are you getting in that case?
