    No, regardless of app status, Dropbox refresh tokens do not expire. They can be revoked on demand by the app or user though.

     

    Dropbox short-lived access tokens themselves do expire after a short period of time. Please refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information on how this process works.
