Dropbox .NET SDK (Refresh Token)
Hi, I found changes in OAuth2 for API, so the authorization could be done with offline access, ascuirung both Access and Refresh tokens. This part is OK, with ProcessCodeFlow method in SDK. But co...
GevorgMel This functionality should now be available on DropboxTeamClient as of release v5.1.0. Please update and give that a try and let us know if you run in to any issues. Thanks!

Dropbox Community ModeratorOFV When your "DropboxClient is instantiated with the Access_token and refresh token", are you also supplying the app key and secret? Those are required to perform the refresh. Make sure you're doing so, like in the example here.
Yes I am using the appid and appsecret. I'm using the constructor as in the example, with the addition of the access token expiry date:
CurrentClient = new DropboxClient(accessToken, refreshToken, expiryDate, appKey, appSecret, config);
The access token returned starts with sl. and is 139 bytes long. The refresh token starts with 1y_ and is 64 bytes long.
Fetching data from the api works up to the expiry date, which was set to 2020-12-09 17:37:48. After that fetching data takes a few minutes (!!) before throwing the exception.
I found 2 possible culprits:
- My code wasn't properly "asynced", which I know I have to avoid: eg: ListFolderAsync(xxx).result(). I recursively converted all methods to async (which was a long way up), and got rid of the .result calls. (I know these calls result in timeouts when exceptions occur inside)
- In the Dropbox App console for our app, under OAuth section: The "access token expiration" was still set to "no expiration", which I now set to "short lived".
With these 2 updates, it now seems to run (with original accesss token still from yesterday).
- Try to use a constructor with refreshtoken, appkey, appSecret. It works for me
Gevorg,
Thanks for the help, but it wroks for me now, even with the extra params in the constructor.
My issue was due to the 2 culprits I described in my previous post.
