See more Dropbox Examples

Downloads a file from Dropbox, streaming it directly to a file in the filesystem.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
; Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
; See Dropbox Access Token.

; to fileStream if the response status code is 200.

; Information about the downloaded file is also available as JSON in a response header.
; The "dropbox-api-result" response header contains the information.  For example:
Local $sApiResult = $oRest.ResponseHdrByName("dropbox-api-result")
ConsoleWrite($sApiResult & @CRLF)

; In this case, the pretty-formatted dropbox-api-result JSON looks like this:
