c# media gallery from dropbox
Hi,
I am developing a web application in C # which is integrated with a dropbox repository. My goal is to make a multimedia gallery populated with the dropbox files.
At this stage I already have all the integration with the dropbox. I can connect, authorize the user and access the files using api v2.
What I need is an example of the C # controller that loads the data from each file (name, size, thumbnail, download link, etc ...) and returns it to the gallery view page.
At this moment I can access the names and size of the files but I am not able to access the thumbnail and download link.
I appreciate someone's help.
Greetings,
John

We don't have an example quite like that unfortunately. Based on your description though, you'll probably want to use some of the following methods, depending on exactly how you want to implement your gallery:

The examples that we do have can be found here:
