V2 API Problem with tokens
I'm getting error_summary": "invalid_access_token" , all the time , even after getting a fresh new token.
I followed these steps:
- oauth2/authorize : get the code
- oauth2/token : get the token using the code
- call any method i.e.
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account --header "Authorization: Bearer R80pqXt4IfAAAAAAAAAFQB-1CY4ADo-4NURztVJ6t3WgwPCKrM"
I appreciate any help.

It looks like you may be accidentally truncating the access token. Dropbox OAuth 2 access tokens are generally 64 characters long, but the one you posted is only 43 characters.
