Dropbox raidrive Token expired
Hey there,
Currenty I have a Plex Media Server running on a windows server at home which accesses the Media from Dropbox via Raidrive. The issue here is: Dropbox stops working after not less than 24 hours or so. As soon as I restart RaiDrive it works perfectly fine until a couple hours later, then the issue repeats itself.
Thanks in advance
This log is the RaiDrive Log that shows the error regarding the issue:
It says that the Token has expired but how do I solve this?

Dropbox is switching to issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. Developers of existing third party apps received advanced noted of this change by email. More information can be found here.
Apps can still get long-term access by requesting "offline" access though, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. This is something that will need to be implemented in the app itself though, by the developer. You may need to install an updated version of the third party app with that implemented, or contact the developer if they haven't released such an update yet.
