I need to work with some files stored on the SharePoint folders on my c# application, but atm I can not find the right way to do that. I'm using Microsoft.sharepoint.client, pnp.core and pnp.framework as libraries and my code is something like:

            string DocLibrary = "Documents";
        
        try
        {
            using (var clientContext = new AuthenticationManager().GetACSAppOnlyContext(siteUrl, clientId, clientSecret))
            {
                Web web = clientContext.Web;
                List DocumentLibrary = web.Lists.GetByTitle(DocLibrary);

                clientContext.Load(web, w => w.Title);
                clientContext.Load(DocumentLibrary);

                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                
                
                //part where I need to access the files
             

                
            }
        }
        catch (Exception exp)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
            Console.WriteLine(exp.Message   Environment.NewLine   exp.StackTrace);
        }
        finally
        {
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

Let's say for instance that I need to access that the URL of the folder is "https://teamsite.msc.com/sites/mysite/Shared Documents/General/TestFolder/" is there a way to access directly to the folder? Cause the only way I found to access this is by doing something like this:

                clientContext.Load(DocumentLibrary.RootFolder);
                clientContext.Load(DocumentLibrary.RootFolder.Folders);
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                
                FolderCollection fcol = DocumentLibrary.RootFolder.Folders;
                foreach (Folder f in fcol)
                {
                    clientContext.Load(f);
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    If(f.name="General")
                         //iteration on folder and files
                    
                    
                }

And this approach as I know it's terrible.

You can use clientContext.Web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl to get the folder directly.
