Hi ketanapatel,
Long lived access token is outdated and deprecated in Dropbox API. Generation of new long lived access token is already dropped, despite of an existing can still be used. So, if you have some already generated token, you can keep it "forever" (may be not exactly, but...). For generation of new long lived access token - forget it.
For long term access without additional user interaction (like was for long lived access token), refresh token can be used to keep access token validity. You can get idea, about refresh token, taking a look here. 😉
Hope this helps.
