    <title>topic API Access Token - Adding New Token Info to Existing Folder in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I'm wondering how I swap out an expired API token in an existing Dropbox folder. We had a nightly sync set up to be retrieved from another database (On24 Events), and the sync has been disconnected due to the expired token.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I generated a new access token to use, but I can't find where to enter the new info in Dropbox. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The person who set this up is no longer with the company, so a&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;ny advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox is in the process of switching to only 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" 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. 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;.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For reference, while the creation of new long-lived access tokens is now deprecated, we don't currently have a plan to disable existing long-lived access tokens. (If that changes, we will of course announce that ahead of time.) That being the case, you can continue using existing long-lived access token(s) without interruption, if you have any. Also, note though that after the change you won't be able to create new long-lived access tokens.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Either way though, whether using a legacy long-lived access token or short-lived access tokens with a refresh token, this isn't something you would plug in to Dropbox itself. The use of access tokens/refresh tokens occurs in the third party code. That is, the third party app itself would be the one to have and store the access token/refresh token, which it then uses to perform the API calls. So, you would need to update the configuration in the third party app. &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Note that this is something that would need to be implemented by the programmer of the app though, so if you are not the&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;programmer responsible for this integration, you may need to get an update from them to support this.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
