Did you install the Dropbox.Api package? That's not built for Xamarin, but there is a third party version meant for Xamarin: Xamarin.Dropbox.Api. That's made by a third party, so we can't officially support or endorse it, but it may work for you.

Tried both, same error on both.
- Greg-DB8 years agoDropbox StaffThanks for confirming that. I just tried this code using v4.3.1 of the SDK in Visual Studio (not Xamarin), and it worked there. That being the case it seems the issue is specific to Xamarin, so I'm afraid I can't offer a solution. I'll send this along as a request for official support for the SDK on Xamarin.
