Using Refresh Token

here is where I am getting my model, the dbxService is where I send the refreshToken value as show in the previus message

public async Task<FileManagerViewModel> GetDropboxViewModel(Panther.Views.Attachment.IndexViewModel gridViewModel, IIdentityService identityService)
        {
            var dbxViewModel = new FileManagerViewModel();
            dbxViewModel.Type = FileManagerProviderType.Dropbox;
            Project project = null;
            var dropBoxsettings = await _unitOfWork.DropBoxSettingsRepository.GetSettingsByTenantId(identityService.Tenant.Id).FirstAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
            var path = "/MyCompany";
            MyCompanyLogger.Log(MyCompanyLogLevel.Info, "BlobRepository: GetDropboxViewModel", $"GridViewModel: {Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(gridViewModel)}");

            try
            {
                var dbxService = new Panther.Services.DropboxService(dropBoxsettings);
                FolderMetadata folder = null;
                if (gridViewModel.AccountGuid.HasValue)
                {
                    var account = await _unitOfWork.AccountRepository.GetAccount(identityService, gridViewModel.AccountGuid.Value, AccessLevelAction.Details).FirstAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
                    folder = await dbxService.GetFolder(account.DropboxFolderId, account.NameAndNumber);
                    if (account.DropboxFolderId != folder.Id)
                    {
                        account.DropboxFolderId = folder.Id;
                        await _unitOfWork.AccountRepository.InsertOrUpdateAndSaveAsync(account).ConfigureAwait(false);
                        MyCompanyLogger.Log(MyCompanyLogLevel.Info, "BlobRepository: GetDropboxViewModel", $"Account updated Dropbox folder Id: {account.DropboxFolderId}");
                    }
                    path = folder.PathLower;
                }
                if (gridViewModel.ProjectGuid.HasValue)
                {
                    project = await _unitOfWork.ProjectRepository.GetProject(identityService, gridViewModel.ProjectGuid.Value, AccessLevelAction.Details).FirstAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
                    folder = await dbxService.GetFolder(project.DropboxFolderId, project.NameAndNumber, project.Account.DropboxFolderId, project.Account.NameAndNumber);
                    if (project.DropboxFolderId != folder.Id)
                    {
                        project.DropboxFolderId = folder.Id;
                        await _unitOfWork.ProjectRepository.InsertOrUpdateAndSaveAsync(project).ConfigureAwait(false);
                        MyCompanyLogger.Log(MyCompanyLogLevel.Info, "BlobRepository: GetDropboxViewModel", $"Project updated Dropbox folder Id: {project.DropboxFolderId}");
                    }
                    path = folder.PathLower;
                }

                var provider = new DropboxFileSystemProvider(path);
                DevExpress.Web.AccountManager.RegisterDropbox("Dropbox1", "AccessTokenValue1");
                provider.AccessTokenValue = Backoffice.Encryptor.Decrypt(dropBoxsettings.AuthToken);
                provider.AccountName = Backoffice.Encryptor.Decrypt(dropBoxsettings.AuthToken);
                dbxViewModel.FileSystemProvider = provider;

                dbxViewModel.IsAllowCreate = HasAccess(FilePermissions.Create, identityService, project);
                dbxViewModel.IsAllowDelete = HasAccess(FilePermissions.Delete, identityService); 
                dbxViewModel.IsAllowEdit = HasAccess(FilePermissions.Delete, identityService);
                dbxViewModel.IsAllowDownload = HasAccess(FilePermissions.Download, identityService);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Backoffice.ErrorHelper.LogErrorManually(ex);
                MyCompanyLogger.Log(MyCompanyLogLevel.Error, "BlobRepository: GetDropboxViewModel exception", ex);
            }
            return dbxViewModel;
        }

 but here

provider.AccessTokenValue = Backoffice.Encryptor.Decrypt(dropBoxsettings.AuthToken);

I ma getting a message that says that AccessTokenValue is obsolete, I am unable to find any example of how to use:

can you tell me where is wrong the code please?

Building a DropboxClient with the refresh token, app key, and app secret as you've shown here is correct and valid. Are you sure that is the specific DropboxClient object you're using when you're getting that 'expired_access_token' error? I just tried it and it is working for me with my own values.

 

Note that an 'ExpiresAt' value would be referring to a specific access token (not a refresh token). When building a client with the refresh token and app key/secret like that, the client won't even have an access token anyway, so it will automatically get a new valid one. That being the case, you don't actually need to store and supply the access token and expiration information to begin with, since you can always just supply the refresh token.

Thanks Greg for replaying my question

we are using a third party tool in our UI to navigate our dropbox folders and we send our AuthToken.

we don't need it for the dropbox client but is there a way to get the new AuthToken after we use RefreshToken?

Thanks in advance
