How to get the Dropbox File List using httpclient or WebRequest?

In order to list the contents of a folder, you should use /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue.
It sounds like you're referring to using .NET, so we recommend using the official API v2 .NET SDK. It has corresponding ListFolder and ListFolderContinue methods.
If can't or don't want to though, you can make the HTTPS requests directly to the HTTPS endpoints. The /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue documentation covers the expected format, and contains curl examples you can translate for your preferred HTTPS client.
Thanks for Reply,
POST /2/sharing/list_folders

I'm trying this in postman. But i'm not get any values. One more doubts. How can i generate the AccessToken ?. My Project requirement without dropbox client dll, through api's i need to get the data.

What was in the HTTPS response? It should either contain an error or the result.
Also, I redacted it for you, but you should revoke that access token since you posted it publicly.
It looks like you already figured out how to get an access token, since you posted one, but for reference, the OAuth guide goes over how to.
