How to switch to short live access token?

Okay,

Last question, the principle of obtaining a short-term access token will remain perennial, and it will not subsequently be compulsory to go through implicit grant or PCKE?
In the meantime, thank you for your very appreciable responsiveness.

Dropbox Community ModeratorShort-lived access tokens expire after a few hours (be sure to check the actual API response for the specific expiration time). If the app requests "offline" access and stores the resulting access token, it does not need to send the user through the app authorization flow again, as it can use the refresh token without further manual interaction. If the app requests "online" access, it will only have access for as long as the short-lived access token is valid; after that, it would need to send the user through the app authorization flow again if the user wishes to continue using the integration.
