I just tried out this flow and it seems to be working correctly for me. Here's a sample of what I ran (with values redacted):
# https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=APPKEY&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d code=AUTHORIZATIONCODE \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -d client_id=APPKEY \ -d client_secret=APPSECRET # { # "access_token": "ACCESSTOKEN", # "token_type": "bearer", # "expires_in": 14400, # "refresh_token": "RERESHTOKEN", # "uid": "USERID", # "account_id": "ACCOUNTID" # } curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d refresh_token=RERESHTOKEN \ -d grant_type=refresh_token \ -d client_id=APPKEY \ -d client_secret=APPSECRET # { # "access_token": "NEWACCESSTOKEN", # "token_type": "bearer", # "expires_in": 14400 # }If that isn't working properly for you, please share the steps and code to reproduce the issue so we can look into it.
