Downloading file error: Cannot convert type

Question

I'm trying to download a file from my DropBox account.

I get an error with
var task = Task.Run((Func<Task>)Download("", "largetest.mpk", folderName));

The error:
Cannot convert type 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task' to 'System.Func<System.Threading.Tasks.Task>

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 string folderName = @"c:\dropboxTest\test.exe";
var task = Task.Run((Func<Task>)Download("", "largetest.mpk", folderName));
task.Wait();
}
async Task Download(string folder, string targetfile, string localPath)
    {
        var dbx = new DropboxClient(Form1.api);
        var response = await dbx.Files.DownloadAsync(folder + "/" + targetfile);
        ulong fileSize = response.Response.Size;
        const int bufferSize = 1024 * 1024;
        var buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
        string folderName = @"C:\dropboxTest\teasdfst.exe";
        using (var stream = await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync())
        {
            using (var localfile = new FileStream(folderName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
            {
                var length = stream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                while (length > 0)
                {
                    localfile.Write(buffer, 0, length);
                   // Console.WriteLine(localfile.);
                    var percentage = 100 * (ulong)localfile.Length / fileSize;
                    // Update progress bar with the percentage.
                    // progressBar.Value = (int)percentage
                    //Console.WriteLine(percentage);
                    length = stream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                }
            }
        }
    }

You should write your function like this

void Download(string folder, string targetfile, string localPath)
{
    var dbx = new DropboxClient(Form1.api);
    var response = dbx.Files.Download(folder + "/" + targetfile);
    ulong fileSize = response.Response.Size;
    const int bufferSize = 1024 * 1024;
    var buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
    string folderName = @"C:\dropboxTest\teasdfst.exe";
    using (var stream = response.GetContentAsStream())
    {
        using (var localfile = new FileStream(folderName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
        {
            var length = stream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
            while (length > 0)
            {
                localfile.Write(buffer, 0, length);
               // Console.WriteLine(localfile.);
                var percentage = 100 * (ulong)localfile.Length / fileSize;
                // Update progress bar with the percentage.
                // progressBar.Value = (int)percentage
                //Console.WriteLine(percentage);
                length = stream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
            }
        }
    }
}

and then call with Task.Run like below

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string folderName = @"c:\dropboxTest\test.exe";
    var task = Task.Run(() => Download("", "largetest.mpk", folderName));
    task.Wait(); // remove this if you don't want to block UI thread.
}

Hope this helps !!
