The "invalid access token" error means that the token your app is sending to Dropbox to authenticate requests is not valid. In practice, this usually happens when:
- The user revoked the app's access.
- The token has been expired or replaced (for example, after using refresh tokens).
- The app is accidentally sending a wrong or malformed token (e.g., truncated, copied incorrectly, or from a different environment).
To resolve this, the user typically needs to reconnect/re-authorize your app so that you obtain a fresh, valid access token, and then make sure your integration is using that new token for all API calls.
That said, if you are still experiencing issues, we can certainly look into this further for you. Please share more details, such as:
- The API app name
- The steps to reproduce the issue
- Relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
