Upload a file to dropbox dynamically with a refreshed access token
I was in the process of uploading a file to Dropbox using a Golang application. However, after a certain period, the access token expired, leading to an unsuccessful upload of the file.
To ensure the file is consistently uploaded with a valid token, it's crucial to establish a mechanism that checks the token's validity in real-time and handles expiration. If the token is identified as expired, it needs to be dynamically refreshed without requiring manual intervention.
My query is: Does Dropbox offer an API that enables automatic and dynamic access token refreshing, eliminating the need for manual intervention?

Hi ravikiranreddy,
Yes, you need refresh token that can be used to programmatically get access token without further user interaction. Take a look here how can be done.
Hope this helps.

Thanks you Greg
