How to revoke an access token? (Other answers suggest security page, but doesn't appear there)
Hi,
I realise this question has been asked before, but it seems the answers always refer to the account/security page.
I have generated (manually through the web UI) multiple access tok...
Hi Chris,
Have you tried going through this one https://www.dropbox.com/developers/support ?
Here's the part that interests you I think!
App access tokens effectively don't expire, but users can manually revoke tokens by going into My apps. In the case of apps with app folder access, if the user deletes the app folder, your app's access token will no longer be valid.
You should only process the authorization once, and save the access token for all future calls for that user. If an existing access token is invalid, (in which cases calls will return 401), you should prompt the user to re-authorize your app.
I hope this helps Chris !
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

That does seem like one possible solution, and I do appreciate you taking the time to answer.
As the folder already contains data, I don't want to delete it to revoke tokens. I was hoping there was a simple way to list and delete/revoke generated tokens.
Again, thank you for taking the time to answer
- Sorry this does not work for you Chris.
You could probably backup the whole folder and try restoring after the deletion? ( ok, I know this probably wouldn't work, but I cannot seem to find any other workaround for what you are trying to achieve.
If you manage to finally find a way , please be so kind and post it here so all users know for future references.
Thanks Chris!Thanks Luffy.
I have just posted a similar question to Stackoverflow, so I might be able to get some traction over there. If I do get an answer, I will be sure to report back here.
Cheers
Chris
