(If that changes, we will of course announce that ahead of time.) That being the case, you can continue using existing long-lived access token(s) without interruption, if you have any.
Alternatively, for long-term access going forward, the preference is to use refresh tokens, which can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed. Refresh tokens do not expire automatically and can be used repeatedly.
I wanted to ask how sustainable is the use of refresh tokens, which can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed?
And How is that sustanaible in combination with Google Apps Script? Since I use the refresh tokens to retrieve short-lived tokes for pushing Google sheets as CVS files to DropBox.
I mean is it a trusted process that can be steady for years without any disruptions? Imagine having a number of apps for customers that use Apps Script and DropBox as explained (for production), and suddenly things do no work!
