Hey wwaag76,
Would you mind showing the actual code within your methods that are failing? I assume things are erroring out at the call to ListRootFolder()?
Can you show the contents of that method?
Typically errors that occur with pathing between full access and App Folder access are not honoring the fact that App Folder apps are effectively chroot'd to their App Folder - so as an example: /Apps/HappyOtterInstaller IS your root, all paths you want to reference are relative to that path as root. So the folder: /Apps/HappyOtterInstaller/install.exe is referred to as just /install.exe by your app. But since you say you tried passing an empty string for path (which always translates to root) I would think just listing files would work.
Seeing the code might help figure out if there's another issue at play.
Thanks,
-Chuck

No, it gets past that call. It's the Download call that produces the error. Here's the code for the Download method.
async Task Download(DropboxClient dbx, string folder, string file) { using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(folder + "/" + file)) //using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(file)) { Console.WriteLine(await response.GetContentAsStringAsync()); } }

One other thing. Inside the app looks like this.

I use this code as well but get the same error. I use code following as :
async Task Download(DropboxClient dbx, string folder, string file) { using (var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(folder + "/" + file)) { Console.WriteLine(await response.GetContentAsStringAsync()); } }
and Pass perameters like :
await Download(client, "/Apps/Retailme", "Retailme.exe");
But there is same error path/not_found
