Nvm i did it in the wrong line.
I replaced the chars in the redirectUri for the token result, not where i open the browser and pass in the url.
but now i get this:
Exception thrown: „Dropbox.Api.OAuth2Exception” in Dropbox.Api.dll
Exception thrown: „Dropbox.Api.OAuth2Exception” in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
invalid_grant: Error: {0}

Melisek An 'invalid_grant' error typically indicates an misconfiguration of the parameters for the OAuth flow, such as an incorrect authorization code, mismatched redirect URI, etc. You should be able to get a more specific error message like this:
try { // ... your ProcessCodeFlowAsync call ... } catch (OAuth2Exception ex) { // ... Console.WriteLine(ex.ErrorDescription); // ... }

It prints out a redirect_uri mismatch

I had a mismatch of variables because of letter capitalization. Now i get the refresh token, acces token, uid, expiration date and the scopes returned, yet i still get the 400 Bad request error when calling client functions.

I copied the code from the repo.
They are named almost the same
and they will be temporary as i don't need oauth on users for my app.
private static readonly Uri RedirectUri = new Uri(LoopbackHost + "authorize"); var redirectUri = await HandleJSRedirect(http);

I'm catching an HttpRequestException using this
catch(HttpRequestException ex) { Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); }
trying to get acces using this
private async Task<List<string>> GetUpdateList(string dirPath) { List<string> list = new List<string>(); var files = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(dirPath); fileNames.Clear(); foreach (var item in files.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFile)) { fileNames.Add(item.Name); list.Add(item.Name[..^4]); } return list; }
And it logs
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).

'dbx' object seems not properly initialized.
Take a look how have you initialized it.
