.NET Downloading large file GetContentAsStreamAsync
I want to use the Dropbox. Api for .NET to allow my users to download files I have stores in Dropbox from my site. The size of the files ranges from small (a few Mb) to Big (a couple of Hundred Mb) ...
- Thanks! In that case, you can specify a longer timeout as shown here:

It's failing after some time... I am downloading a large file, in the case of the test it's a file that's 245 MB.
Downloading this file directly from dropbox took about 6 minutes.
Is there a way to set the time out for a longer period?

Dropbox StaffHow long does it take to fail when you're trying to download via the API? If it is a timeout issue, there may be a way to configure that, but we'll have to look into it.
Also, are you trying to download multiple files at once?

- It takes one and a half to two minutes, give or take.
In the internal tests I'm running now I'm only trying to download one file at the time.- Greg-DBThanks! In that case, you can specify a longer timeout as shown here:
