How to download file from dropbox with Vue/Javascript
Hi, I have a vue application where I want to download files in a specific folder. But when I call the method to do it I am getting the following error: TypeError: Dropbox.Dropbox is not a constr...

The filesDownload method downloads a single file. If you want to download multiple files, such as all of the files in a folder, you can iterate through them and call it for each one.
If you want to download an entire folder at once, you can use filesDownloadZip instead. Note that this will give you a zip of the folder which you will need to unzip locally.

To use the 'Dropbox' constructor, that should be 'new Dropbox' instead of 'new Dropbox.Dropbox'.
By the way, I redacted it from your post, but note that access tokens enable access to Dropbox accounts, so for the sake of security, you should never share access tokens like this. Since this access token has been shared here, you should disable this access token. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here:
https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps
Or, you can disable just this access token using the API:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-revoke
That's authTokenRevoke in the JavaScript SDK:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#authTokenRevoke__anchor
Note that doing so will cause any further API calls made using this access token to fail. This cannot be undone, and you would need to get a new access token to replace this one.
