File download from users dropbox accounts in MVC

I need to develop a feature in my MVC application, where logged in users have their own dropbox accounts and they can able to download their files from their dropbox account and upload to my application.

For this I need to provide a dropbox  login screen first, then need to show the files and folders of the user and then user can choose the file to download.

Please suggest me how to implement the functionality as I am new to MVC and  drop box features.

    That's correct, Dropbox does offer an API you can use to list, upload, and download files, among other operations. 

    You can find everything you need to get started on the developers site here, as Richard noted:

    https://www.dropbox.com/developers

    We do recommend using an official SDK if possible. If not, you can call the HTTP endpoints directly.
