Thanks for your reply!  Yes I understand you cannot promiss if or when, but since there's still time left until the long-lived access token is retired, I'll patiently wait with a hope for this feature in the near future :)  Otherwise we'll probably make a separate call to the token endpoint on our own and get new access token manually.

      I would like to know how we can get the dropbox token using the .NET SDK?  Is it true that the Refresh Token does not Expire?

        DrMDodd For the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK in C#, you can find an example of getting and using a refresh token in the OauthBasic example (non-PKCE, meant for server-side apps) as well as in the OAuthPKCE example (PKCE, meant for client-side apps). As noted earlier in this thread, the SDK does not offer the ability to extract the current short-lived access token, but if you use the SDK as shown it will handle the access token for you.

         

        And yes, Dropbox refresh tokens do not expire automatically (though they can be revoked on demand).
