unrealBook does work with Dropbox

Dropbox decided to make the tokens "short lived". So they revoke access after a day or two.

You need to log out, then back in and it will work again for a few days.

    Hi 808phone, thanks for posting today!

     

    This post might be useful for other users experiencing similar issues with that app.

     

    I'll leave the thread open for them post if they experience any similar issues.

    Short lived tokens are valid for four hours. After that a new token needs to be request.

     

    The best way to resolve this would be to contact the developer of unrealBook and ask them to update their application to use refresh tokens. Dropbox deprecated long-lived access tokens nearly 2 1/2 years ago.

      Thanks! OK, 2 1/2 years ago the documentation was terrible.

      I don't understand why people write something like dropbox, then provide something like a one file dialog, when you know people want to sync their files, not only get. Dropbox has the routines but does not make them available in an easy to use fashion. Anyway, thanks
