Download folder with all content recursively, Sharpbox

Question

So I set up a little app that I would like to use to download A folder from my public Dropbox folder and all the content within that to a vm.

If I try:

var publicFolder = dropBoxStorage.GetFolder("/Public");
string targetFile = @"C:\Users\Michael\";
dropBoxStorage.DownloadFile(publicFolder,@"WS",targetFile);

WS if the Folder with all the content that I would like to download.

However when i run the code I get:

SharpBox does not support downloading folders. I took the time and wrote a function which should download the folder recursively. (haven't tested it though).

string remoteDirName = @"/Public/WS";
string targetDir = @"C:\Users\Michael\";
var remoteDir = dropBoxStorage.GetFolder(remoteDirName);

public static DownloadFolder(CloudStorage dropBoxStorage,ICloudDirectoryEntry remoteDir, string targetDir)
{

    foreach (ICloudFileSystemEntry fsentry in remoteDir)
    {
        if (fsentry is ICloudDirectoryEntry)
        {
            DownloadFolder(dropBoxStorage, fsentry, Path.Combine(targetDir, fsentry.Name));
        }
        else
        {
            dropBoxStorage.DownloadFile(remoteDir,fsentry.Name,Path.Combine(targetDir, fsentry.Name));
        }
    }
}
