Ok , I revoked API. When I continue with my codes , I get this error.

Dropbox Community ModeratorAre you running the version with "<ACCESS_TOKEN>", or did you just redact your access token like that for posting the error here?
That's not a valid access token, and since you revoked the app, you'll need to retrieve a new access token to run your code. Make sure you use your access token exactly as provided, that is, just the long string without < or >.

- What is the difference between new and old access tokens ? Why I should take a new one ? Old token perfectly uploaded my files but didnt download any file . I should try new access token ? Please let me know can all users upload files and download files with my Dropbox basic account ? I respect your business but I am going to crazy . I think I will delete my dropbox account :(
- Greg-DBBy new access token, I mean you should retrieve another. This won't be any different that the old one, except that the old one is now revoked.
It is important that the old one was revoked because you posted it publicly, meaning any person could have taken it and accessed your account.
Once you have a working access token again, let us know the error message you get when you try to download a file. (Just don't post the new access token itself.)Ok , I got a new token and I can use it. I can upload any file or I can list my dropbox files. But I cant download my files. I am adding codes again without access token.
require_once "lib/Dropbox/autoload.php"; use \Dropbox as dbx; $appInfo = dbx\AppInfo::loadFromJsonFile("app-info.json"); $webAuth = new dbx\WebAuthNoRedirect($appInfo, "PHP-Example/1.0"); $authorizeUrl = $webAuth->start(); $accessToken = '<ACCESS_TOKEN>'; //secret $dbxClient = new dbx\Client($accessToken, "PHP-Example/1.0"); $f = fopen("tufek.jpg", "w+b"); $fileMetadata = $dbxClient->getFile("/tufek.jpg", $f); /*I cant download*/ fclose($f); print_r($fileMetadata); $metaData = $dbxClient->getMetadataWithChildren("/"); foreach($metaData['contents'] as $file){ // I can list my files $f = str_replace("/", "", $file['path']); echo "<div style='text-align:center; margin-top:25px;'><li>$f</li></div>"; }
