Long Access token deprecation time

Long Access token deprecation time

Traye1
Explorer | Level 3

Hi Team,

Recently I have come across the notification which says Dropbox will deprecate the non expiring access token. The time line in the notification was mid 2021.
Now we know so far it hasn't been deprecated, can you tell me the exact/approximate timeline when dropbox is planning to deprecate it.

Long-lived access tokens are now considered deprecated, but 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). Note though that after the change you won't be able to create new long-lived access tokens.

 

You can find more information on this migration in this blog post. That change, where Dropbox will no longer return new long-lived access tokens, is planned for September 30th, 2021.
