Dropbox Access Tokens - How do they work?
I'm currently using Dropbox Access Tokens which expire pretty quickly. I'm wanting to know when I publish my app, which downloads files from Dropbox, how I get a fully working Access Token that won...
OK, thank you for that. My memory is fading.
It's suggesting that long term access tokens currently in use won't be replaced. Is this feature about to disappear? I don't want my application to fold because Dropbox turns this feature of public submission off.

They've long held that existing tokens, those created prior to the feature being deprecated/discontinued, will not be revoked. Whether or not that will change in the future, no one knows.
That being said, if you don't already have a long-lived token from before they were discontinued, you wouldn't be able to get one now. Your app needs to request offline access and use refresh tokens.
It's just that I'm about to start a company where using Dropbox is a way of getting files to the app. It's more about Dropbox strategy or vision, than what tokens to use.
