@ArgjendKras Dropbox API refresh tokens don't expire, but can be revoked on demand by the app or user.

[Dropbox API @dropboxapi]

@ArgjendKras Yes, you can catch and handle the 'expired_access_token' error returned by any particular API call and/or keep track of the expiration information originally returned with the access token as mentioned in that thread.

@chrisatlatenite The Dropbox API doesn't offer functionality for Replay unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be available though.

@gamesover @DropboxSupport That post is correct. We began rolling out that change last year. (Note that the September 30th date in that post is 2021, not 2022.) Dropbox now issues new access tokens as short-lived access tokens. We are not invalidating existing long-lived access tokens.
