Silly question (RE: Option 2 "Use the DownloadZipAsync method to download the entire folder..."). To where does DownloadZipAsync(...) download the zip file??

erich_e As Здравко said, you can get the requested data (either individual file or zip of a folder) using the returned stream (or string, or byte array). Specifically, check out the documentation for DownloadZipAsync and for the IDownloadResponse Interface in particular for the three methods of accessing the data. There's also an example of using one of them here.
