    <description>&lt;P&gt;I use the dropbox api. But after a few hours, my token is no longer working. How do I make the token work forever?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens. Dropbox is now issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find &lt;A href="https://dropbox.tech/developers/migrating-app-permissions-and-access-tokens#updating-access-token-type" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;more information on this migration here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Apps can still get long-term access by requesting "offline" access though, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. Refresh tokens do not expire automatically and can be used repeatedly. You can find more information in 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;. There's a basic outline of processing this flow in &lt;A href="https://dropbox.tech/developers/using-oauth-2-0-with-offline-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;this blog post&lt;/A&gt; which may serve as a useful example.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks, and how long is a regular short-term token valid?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox API short-lived access tokens are valid for several hours. You can have your app get the actual expiration information from the 'expires_in' value returned with the short-lived access token from &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-token" target="_blank"&gt;/oauth2/token&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
