YanivB, Let's see what you have up to now: There is an only method that accepts string and that method doesn't work for you. 🤔
Doesn't it sound logical to move the focus from string to object? 🧐 There are methods to get AccessToken object (you have already used such a way; there are others too) and to set it back (as Greg useful proposed DropboxOAuthManager storeAccessToken) instead of using just string. Right? In mean time you can stringify such an object and store it in this form in the source place and after that build it back before use on the corresponding device as well as you can keep it in any other form (matter of choice and design decision, but the object state MUST be complete, not just some part). What would you say? 😉

First , thank you all for trying to help!!
Sorry I am new to the swiftyDropbox and not all straight forward to me...
That is why I ask for code examples 🙏

Ok, let see what you have already done. When your authentication succeeds, you're receiving DropboxAccessToken object and print it out. This object contains the actual access token, user id, refresh token, and token expiration timestamp. Unfortunately, when just printed (as you have done) it outputs only the access token string and skips everything else (incomplete data, so cannot restore it). Here you should take care to get access to everything as print everything out field by field. Once this got done you're gonna have everything needed (not just a part). I hope you don't need example for printing out of the data.
On the other side (other device), you can use available already data as something like:
let token = DropboxAccessToken(accessToken: accessToken, uid: userId, refreshToken: refreshToken, tokenExpirationTimestamp: expirationTimestamp) DropboxOAuthManager.sharedOAuthManager.storeAccessToken(token)Again, you should already have accessToken, userId, refreshToken, and expirationTimestamp. 😉
Hope this helps.

Thanks!! now it all working also on the other device.
Last question 😊
As I passed in theDropboxAccessToken()
the Refresh token also, is that means it will not expires ?
So no additional refresh logic needed?
Thanks again ! - Здравко2 years agoLegendary | Level 20
Yes, refresh token doesn't expire automatic and you don't need any additional refresh logic (SDK has enough inside). 😉
Good luck.
