Dropbox Community ModeratorIn order to get this working, please set up the client by supplying the refresh token, etc., to it directly, as shown in the example, so that it can perform the refresh process for you. That way, it can continue performing API calls successfully for more than four hours.
So flow like this? It still shows an error.
import sys
import dropbox
import time
from dropbox import DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect
from dropbox.files import WriteMode
while True:
with dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_access_token='access token',
oauth2_access_token_expiration=expiry,
oauth2_refresh_token='refresh token',
app_key='app key',
app_secret='secret'):
try:
with open('rtk.txt', 'rb') as f:
file_contents = f.read()
dbx.files_upload(file_contents, '/rtk.txt', mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode('overwrite'))
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
time.sleep(60)Error: An error occurred: name 'dbx' is not defined
