Download files from dropbox public folder in ASP.NET


My goal is to obtain all the images from a public Dropbox Folder in order to display and store them in an ASP.NET MVC5 project(solutions using javascript or jquery are acceptable).

Going through the dropbox documentation seems like I have to use a Dropbox account in order to instantiate DropboxClient, but since I'm using a public URL I feel like there's a way to obtain the images without having to link any account.

Should I continue searching withing the dropbox documentation or should I explore how to do it without the api of Dropbox using WebClient or any other?

Can someone point me to a simple example of how to download all the images having only the public link to the Dropbox folder?
