Hi, Greg! It's me, but new name

Thanks for your reply! None of these cases did not happened with my account.

I use free account, and maybe there are some limitations like download traffic limit that could affect token. I am just at a loss. And it is unclear if it will be fixed after upgrading to Plus plan.

Hi GRP2/grp3,

Are you sure you didn't create access token in one of your account and try use it on another one? :thinking: You are using two different accounts in fact (content is different, even when matching)!

Hope this gives the right direction. :wink:

    What do you mean, Здравко? How can I use token in another account? I send only path to file and token, there is no info what account I use.

      You didn't mention in any way exact API point in use or error message you have received, so I have supposed exactly what you said above. The token represent particular account! Are you sure that the particular account (represented using particular token) contains the path you are talking about? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

        Yes, It works fine, otherwise I receive Not found. I get access token expired error and when I regenerate acess token, it works again.
