    <title>topic Change file permission, files.content.read in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear support,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Currently, my app is using the "long lived token" to access to the app folders. The permission for that folder was set to "files.content.write". I would like to add the permission, "files.content.read". I was able to make that change in the app console. The box next to it is checked to indicate the change is made.&amp;nbsp; However, when trying to download a file in my app, I was rejected by this "files.content.read" permission. Can I change the permission without needing to re-generate the access token?&amp;nbsp; I do not want to lose my existing long lived token since the app is distributed around 100 spots.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It is not possible to increase the permissions (e.g., add another scope) on an existing access token or refresh token. Adding a scope to your app via the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;App Console&lt;/A&gt; does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens or refresh tokens.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to re-authorize the app to get a new access token (and refresh token, if being used) with that scope.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Refer to the &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;OAuth Guide&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;authorization documentation&lt;/A&gt; for more information.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
