Action required: tokens and permissions
Action required: tokens and permissions
I've got a message from DropBox.

As a reminder, on September 30th, 2021, the Dropbox OAuth flow will no longer return new long-lived access tokens. It will instead return short-lived access tokens, and optionally return refresh tokens. Existing tokens are not impacted.
Apps that require background access will need to update their code to use refresh tokens, which is made easier by using our updated SDKs.

I use NuGet package Xamarin.Dropbox.Api 4.5.3.1 (updated 24.10.2017)
How can I update my code?

I see you're using the Xamarin.Dropbox.Api which is not an official Dropbox SDK. It's owned by Microsoft and Xamarin. That would need to be updated for the new authorization functionality. It looks like it hasn't been updated since 2017 though, so you may want to contact them to see if they will update it.
Thank you for clear answer.
Dropbox has official API for .NET.
How can I see (updated) sample code for .NET API?

Dropbox does offer an official .NET SDK for Dropbox API v2, which you can find here.
That comes with several example apps, including sample code updated for the new authorization functionality, such as in OauthBasic and OAuthPKCE.
