how to verify downloaded file?

See original GitHub issue

hello again, here is my code that I use to download a file:

using (var response = await client.Files.DownloadAsync(file.AsFile.PathDisplay))
{
    File.WriteAllBytes(folder + "/" + realName, await response.GetContentAsByteArrayAsync());
}

but my question is: how can I check if the downloaded file is correct? is there a checksum or md5 or someother thing?

thanks in advance

Recently, the API “FileMetadata” objects got a new “content_hash” field.

The Dropbox API doesn’t currently offer any sort of hash or checksum, but I’ll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. If the download is interrupted though, an exception will be thrown.
