    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need help with this Access Token thing which I have to regenerate every time I use my app,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know Refresh Token has been mentioned in 1 or 2 other posts but it is either I cannot comprehend what they are saying, or maybe my brain is just not functioning well right now, please if anyone can provide me with steps for solving this issue I would highly appreciate it, I just need something permanent to use or at least the Token be valid for a few days, not for each time I run my app which is really inconvenient,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you very much in advance!&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, so you would not need to manually reauthorize the app each time. 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>
