Dropbox.Api failing to upload large files

Question

I am uploading files to dropbox using the following code.

I am using the nuget package Dropbox.Api and getting the exception System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException("A task was canceled.")

From this SO Question it appears to be a timeout issue.

So how do I modify the following code to set the timeout.

    public async Task<FileMetadata> UploadFileToDropBox(string fileToUpload, string folder)
    {
        DropboxClient client = new DropboxClient(GetAccessToken());

        using (var mem = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(fileToUpload)))
        {
            string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload);

            try
            {
                string megapath = GetFullFolderPath(folder);
                string megapathWithFile = Path.Combine(megapath, Path.GetFileName(Path.GetFileName(filename))).Replace("\\", "/");
                var updated = client.Files.UploadAsync(megapathWithFile, WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, body: mem);
                await updated;
                return updated.Result;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

Try creating and initializing the client like this:

var config = new DropboxClientConfig();
config.HttpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(hr, min, sec); // choose values
var client = DropboxClient(GetAccessToken(), config);
