API access token expired

API is a way that people can build their own software to integrate with other services. So the API articles you are seeing are what the developers of whatever it is you are getting the error from need to look at. It isnt something you, me, or even Dropbox themselves, can sort.
Tesla themselves need to do the fix, or, issue it correctly.

I received a Proposal for Collaboration from a company I sent a proposal to via email, but when I tried to open it to view the document, it wouldn't open and it says
"API has expired. Please reach out to your provider for API renewal."
I sent a message back to the individual who sent it to me, via the address he sent it from inside of Dropbox and it said it was delivered, but it's Memorial Day weekend and he might not see it until Tuesday. However, he also said on the last earnings call that he was leaving the company in a few months, so I want to make sure I can review the proposal and hope he isn't leaving at the end of this month. Every time I try to use a Google Product, there are issues with it.

My error. I assumed Google had purchased them because they are constantly trying to get me to use it on Chrome. But I still don't know how to fix the error. This is Dropbox's help page. How do I fix the API issue? It was sent from Tesla. I asked him to resend it. Do I need to do something more in Dropbox for it to be able to open?

Thank you very much. I had a friend who is familiar with the issue tell me the same thing. She said they will just have to send it to you again. Thanks again.
