Your application may use refresh tokens to retrieve new access tokens without needing to apply for production access. Refresh tokens do not expire; you may pass them to the SDK which will then automatically retrieve new access tokens as required. You can switch to this methodology now.
You will need to complete an OAuth to retrieve a refresh token; they are not returned in the 'generate access token' section of the developer console. This OAuth will only be required once (per account) to retrieve a refresh token.
Hello,
Can you elaborate a bit more on how to refactor the code to accomplish what you said? I am looking into the examples https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/tree/main/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples but seems that they actually include more things that this needs like some redirect URLs, JS handling, etc. Which example could I follow?

RosenPetrov The examples you linked to are the current samples for implementing the OAuth app flow with the Dropbox .NET SDK. Are they not working for you, or can you clarify what you're stuck on?
Hi,
I am looking into the 'SimpleTest' and I see these LoopbackHost, RedirectUri and JSRedirectUri but in my case I need this Authentication to happen in a background without user interaction. Could you point me in the right direction how I could accomplish that. Maybe some high level steps but not code would be enough.
Thanks 🙂
