Gettng a refresh token from GetAuthorizeUri
Hi, I am trying to convert my .net code (used for the old non expiring tokens) to get a refresh token. In this part: var authorizeUri = DropboxOAuth2Helper.GetAuthorizeUri(OAuthResponseType.Token, ...

phunction take a look on the line where refresh token is referred to. Once you got to this token, next time you can skip actual login part and process directly the client creation. Owning the token keeps you (your application actually) logged in corresponding account, where you have logged in already before. 😉
Greg-DB may be a good idea new feature providing serialization/deserialization of current client tokens status. This would provide an easier way for managing most recent state (keep/restore). Is .NET SDK the only kit that missing this feature? 🤔
Thanks for the help, I am now able to get the refresh token, but I am unable to list files.
I normally listed the files like this:
DropboxClient dbx = new DropboxClient(szToken); <- previous just using access token
var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);
I changed this part:
DropboxClient dbx = new DropboxClient(szRefreshToken,appKey);
but when I try the dbx.Files I get an exception of: "Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request)."
What am I missing?

Hi phunction,
What type of authentication flow have you selected in your application? 🤔 Take in mind that constructor overriding, used by you, is applicable only with PKCE flow! If you are using something else, on access token request Dropbox expects the application secret too. 😉
Does this fix your last issue?
Thanks, adding the app secret to the client request worked.
When you say what authentication flow I have selected, do you mean in the dropbox app console?
I am unable to find a setting for that.
No, no,... That's not a setting either on your application in console or anything else. It's the workflow on authorization supported by Dropbox and selected by you eventually. As an example, again on the same file, take a look here. You can see example of PKCE usage. You have used something similar on initial authentication. 🤔 What actually? 🧐 That's it. 😉
Hope this clarifies matter.
