Invalid access token
I generated an access token while creating my project on dropbox app console, and used that token to let my user's to fetch data from my drobox using my android app, everything worked fine for months...
I got the information while generating the access token that i should use standard auth process to generate access tokens for my users. What does that mean then

Dropbox Community ModeratorIt sounds like you're referring to using the OAuth app authorization flow. That's the process you would implement in your app for the normal case where you have each end-user connect their own Dropbox account to receive their own access token. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation (as well as the documentation for the SDK/library you're using, if any).
In your case, since you're using the non-recommended method of hard-coding your own access token in the app you distribute to users, you don't need to use the OAuth app authorization flow at all.
For reference, the access token you get for your own account by using the "Generate" button on your app's page on the App Console is functionally the same as an access token you would retrieve for your account via the OAuth app authorization flow.
