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.
