Your issue appears to be very similar to https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/Xamarin-DropBox-APi-HTTP-400-Bad-request-on-DownloadAsync/m-p/302892.
Given that the code sample works in a standard .NET project, but does not in a Xamarin project, Xamarin is likely adding additional logic that is modifying the Content-Type header in this use case. There is little we can do to help in this situation as we do not provide support for Xamarin issues with the official Dropbox .NET SDK. One place to possibly find additional help could be the Xamarin forums.
thanks for the support
will follow up with Xamarin
thanks again
