I am passing in the refresh token as well. My understanding is that I don't need to manually need to use the refresh token to get a new access token, as this staff member mentions: https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101000014/dropbox-api---check-and-refresh-access-token/813244/replies/813292

Alternatively I could just use the refresh token to manually get the access token like so??

curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
   -d refresh_token=<REFRESH TOKEN> \
   -d grant_type=refresh_token \
   -d client_id=<APP KEY> \
   -d client_secret=<APP SECRET>
