    <title>topic short-lived access tokens for sharing data in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/short-lived-access-tokens-for-sharing-data/m-p/519587#M25364</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, how to programmatically generate a temporary link to share my data in my dropbox with other users in short-lived access token scheme? I currently use a long-lived access token generated on my app's webpage, and my script uses the fixed token to generate a link. Based on what I read on documentation, the short-lived tokens using OAuth seem to be generated for the user, not for accessing data on my account; thus, even with a new token, users won't be able to access my data. Is this correct? If so, it would be helpful if you could give me a pointer on how I could implement a temp link generation for sharing purposes using short-lived access tokens. Thanks in advance!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Long-lived access tokens and short-lived access tokens both work the same way, just with the exception that short-lived access tokens expire after a few hours, while long-lived access tokens don't. Otherwise, they serve the same purpose. That is, they each identify a particular app-account pair, and enable access to that account via the API to the extent allowed by the configured permissions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, you can use a short-lived access token to call the API to generate links the same way you would use a long-lived access token to do so.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I recommend reading &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide" target="_self"&gt;the OAuth Guide&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization" target="_self"&gt;authorization documentation&lt;/A&gt; for more information on access tokens.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
