More details about that error would be useful. It's not clear what doesn't work for you actually. The refresh token will just 'extend' your authentication 'life' (if could be said so), nothing more.

Hi @Ghost Mjrm,

Do you understand that in you code message "Photo saved and uploaded successfully" may be preceded by "Error uploading to Dropbox: "? Do you receive double confirmation of success or just one? 🧐

If everything was Ok, Did you take a look in your "/Apps/Bau" folder only? If so, take a look in "/Apps/Bau/Apps" too. 😉 Are your missing photos there?

Hope this helps.

@Ghost Mjrm, there is no single right decision. It's matter of design decision and you can make it as you like.

Something else: Don't forget that access token (the one you use in your code) is short lived! 👆

 Hm..🤔 Try find out where exactly the exception comes from (set middle points throughout your code). Perform intensive logging in your uploadToDropbox method in every line and split the composite lines.

thank you so much to noticing me one more once but every time should i update my access token to make the app working again ? is there any solution for that i want to give this app to employer to use it and give me photo every time 24 hours per day 

one more question i have edit my access token  but the problem is still when i take photo it tell me error uploading to dropbox:null

i have checked my app Dropbox folder and i cannot find anything

Best Regards

Just performing OAuth flow and using "offline" as type will give you refresh token that doesn't expire. 😉

@Ghost Mjrm Здравко is correct; for long-term access, you can request "offline" access, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. Refresh tokens do not expire automatically and can be used repeatedly. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. There's a basic outline of processing this flow in this blog post which may serve as a useful example.

The official Dropbox Java SDK can actually handle the process for you automatically, as long as you supply the necessary credentials, e.g., as shown retrieved in the examples here. For instance, for a client-side app, such as a desktop app, you should use the PKCE flow, e.g., as shown here. That allows you to make and save a DbxCredential with a refresh token as shown here. With that, you can make API calls like shown here.
