Ok. Is this approach implemented in the C # SDK by Dropbox.Api?
Since from the console platform you give the possibility to generate an access token, wouldn't it be possible to generate a refresh token to be used later by applications to request the access token?

The official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK does support short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens. You can find example code here.

 

The "Generate" button on the app info page on the App Console does not currently offer the ability to generate a refresh token, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
