Exchanging code for token
I already have a topic, but I asked the wrong question and messed everything up. I think me need to create the right thread for the right question
here is the code taken from the official dropbox source. I just tried to figure it out by pulling it into an empty project in parts, but when I gave up. turned to the original source, replacing the data with his own
if I take an example from github, and just change the AppKey and AppSecret and set my port, then following error: an error occurred while sending the request at the moment Exchanging code for token here
var tokenResult = await DropboxOAuth2Helper.ProcessCodeFlowAsync(redirectUri, ApiKey, ApiSecret, RedirectUri.ToString(), state);

It looks like you're attempting to run the "OauthBasic" example from the Dropbox .NET SDK here. That's an example meant to show how a server-side app can process the OAuth app authorization flow to receive an access token and refresh token for making API calls.
I understand that can be tricky to set up from scratch, so I do recommend running that sample as provided without modifications first, other than plugging in your app key/secret and potentially different port number.
It sounds like you've done so, that is, are running the example unmodified except for app key/secret and port, and are receiving an error during the ProcessCodeFlowAsync call. Is that correct?
If so, can you show the full error you're getting? I would generally expect the error to contain more information than just that message, though you may need to inspect the exception object a bit. Feel free to share a screenshot if that would better illustrate what you're currently seeing. Thanks in advance!

sorry for not english error if you believe the error, then it reports that the COM context is busy or disabled.
and its was happen at the var redirectUri = await HandleJSRedirect(http); and next was catch the exception

maybe I took the wrong example? maybe you can tell me how to connect to the API in an easier way? I’m not very strong in this, I practically don’t understand anything, I have an xamarin application that I would like to save the picture and download it when needed, maybe I approached the connection issue incorrectly or its correct way?
- Greg-DBDropbox Staff
I see you're getting an error "Failed to create SSL/TLS secure channel", which indicates your system wasn't able to establish a secure connection to the Dropbox API servers for the HTTPS requests needed to perform API calls. This may be because your system doesn't support a sufficient version of TLS.
For reference, Dropbox retired support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 earlier this year. The Dropbox API servers now only support connections using TLS 1.2. You'll need to make sure your app/network client/environment support TLS 1.2 in order to continue making Dropbox API calls.
For your client/environment, please refer to the relevant documentation for information on enabling the relevant platform support. For example, Microsoft in particular appears to have some resources here which may be helpful:
