I assume things are erroring out at the call to ListRootFolder()?
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()); } }

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

ABDUL_REHMAN If you're using an app with the "app folder" permission, you don't need to include the path of the app folder itself when making API calls, such as "/Apps/Retailme". The Dropbox API will automatically interpret your paths as being relative to your app folder.
So, for example, in your code you wouldn't need to include that "/Apps/Retailme". With how that code snippet is set up, you would instead specify a "folder" value of "", which would result in the final path of "/Retailme.exe" for a file inside your app folder.
