      <title>bring back long term access tokens...</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/bring-back-long-term-access-tokens/m-p/775015#M33880</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am fairly new to dropbox and I find it amazing for manging videos etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;I have a client that uses dropbox and wants to continue to do so (don't blame them) but the learning curve in the API for uploading/downloading videos is huge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;I was able to use the Short Lived access code to upload videos pretty easily, but at the time didn't realise that sl. meant 4 hours... which from an application point of view is useless.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't understand why dropbox can't provide a "Long Term" access token that works similar to the Short Lived access token.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;They way it is now is a pain for a developer trying to support a &lt;U&gt;specific&lt;/U&gt; dropbox customer enable an app designed for that customer alone.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If there does have to be this "refresh token" to regen a new access token every 4 hours, allow the customer to just see the "refresh token" on their app page under their App Key and Secret Key....&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Why can't the customer just see their refresh token for the app in that screen in the same way they can see their secret key?&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Seems like a "ops, didn't think of it from the customers point of view"...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
