      <description>&lt;P&gt;I know is old but, if refresh the token once the upload connection is done (not the upload process)?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1 - get the token from server-side and pass it to client side&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2 - start upload and once the connection is made (or the first bytes is sent), request the server-side to refresh the token.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't know if it's work this way, but a think once the connection is made, the token is no more necessary.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, using a second dropbox account (a free one) to just upload files and the move it to a payed account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this possible? Or once the token is refreshed, the upload process is canceled?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can use the refresh process (that is, calling &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-token" target="_blank"&gt;/oauth2/token&lt;/A&gt; with grant_type=refresh_token) to get a new short-lived access token using a refresh token at any time, but doing so does not invalidate previous short-lived access tokens.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-revoke" target="_blank"&gt;/2/auth/token/revoke&lt;/A&gt; to revoke an access token, but that will also revoke the corresponding refresh token and other short-lived access tokens for that refresh token, if any.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dropbox also does not offer a guarantee on the timing as to when during the connection/API call the authorization check occurs, so I would not recommend relying on that.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Got it! Dropbox team should really think about implement that. As other people said here, don't make sense upload large files twice, spending time and bandwidth.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
