    phunction  take a look on the line where refresh token is referred to. Once you got to this token, next time you can skip actual login part and process directly the client creation. Owning the token keeps you (your application actually) logged in corresponding account, where you have logged in already before. 😉

     

    Greg-DB  may be a good idea new feature providing serialization/deserialization of current client tokens status. This would provide an easier way for managing most recent state (keep/restore). Is .NET SDK the only kit that missing this feature? 🤔

Thanks for the help, I am now able to get the refresh token, but I am unable to list files.

 

I normally listed the files like this:

DropboxClient dbx = new DropboxClient(szToken);  <-  previous just using access token

var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);

 

I changed this part:

DropboxClient dbx = new DropboxClient(szRefreshToken,appKey);

but when I try the dbx.Files I get an exception of: "Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request)."

 

What am I missing?
