I’ve tested this with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 (both 64-bit installations).
Public Function GetDropBoxFolder() As String Dim dbPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Dropboxhost.db") Dim lines As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(dbPath) Dim dbBase64Text As Byte() = Convert.FromBase64String(lines(1)) Dim folderPath As String = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(dbBase64Text) Return folderPath End Function
public string GetDropBoxFolder() { var dbPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Dropbox\host.db"); string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(dbPath); byte[] dbBase64Text = Convert.FromBase64String(lines[1]); string folderPath = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(dbBase64Text); return folderPath; }
