    Refresh tokens do not expire automatically, but they can be revoked by the app or user on demand. That means by default you do not need to get a new refresh token for an account that is already connected (unless it is explicitly revoked by the app or user).

     

    Short-lived access tokens do expire after four hours. A refresh token is used to perform the "refresh", which is a way to get a new short-lived access token. The Dropbox .NET SDK will do that for your automatically so you don't need to implement that yourself.
