The first way looks correct, and that code is working for me when I supply valid credentials. Make sure you're supplying the correct and valid values. For example, make sure:
- the refresh token is exactly as originally provided by Dropbox
- the refresh token hasn't been revoked by the app or user
- the client ID and secret, a.k.a., app key and secret, are exactly as originally provided by Dropbox
- the client ID and secret, a.k.a., app key and secret, are for the same app as the refresh token
For the second way, it is expected that "clientNew" would not have the MembersListAsync method, since the MembersListAsync method is only available on DropboxTeamClient instances, not DropboxClient instances. The AsMember method returns a DropboxClient instance to operate on a specific member, not the whole team. The WithPathRoot method sets the root for the files calls made by the client. Neither of these control the refresh process.

ok, but if i am calling the first way
i am getting the error.
I am trying to understand.
after 4 hours i am creating the dropbox team client with all the correct data(access,refresh,secret etc..).
but getting an error
can you try and reproduce it .
create a new token with 4 hours.
then wait 4 hours and then call the new dropbox team client with the token then you get before and call the client.Team.MembersListAsync()
i even try to call the refresh token method manually but this didn't work also
need your help 🙂

Yes, I tried the code you shared, plugging in valid refresh token, etc. values, and it worked for me.
Please review the list in my previous message for reasons why that would fail for you. Check and update your values as necessary to make sure you're providing correct and valid refresh token, etc. credentials.

i an not understand and will need more assistance.
in my up i am always using the DropboxTeamClient creating it with all the necessary parameters
like this.
var client = new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken, request.Expires, ClientId, ClientSecret);
now after that i am checking if the client is in the new space or the old one
like this
var account = await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync();
var spaceclient = client.AsMember(request.AsMember).WithPathRoot(new PathRoot.Root(account.RootInfo.RootNamespaceId));if (account.RootInfo.IsTeam)
{metadata = await spaceclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId);
}
else
{
metadata = await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId)
}now sometimes i need to call this
client.Team.MembersListAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
and befoe every call i am calling the
var client = new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken, request.Expires, ClientId, ClientSecret);
and I need it because that sometimes i am handing for the same client al the data content and all the user and groups as well
and my issue is that after the token is expire i am getting the error that was in the first message .
400 error
i am really need to get to the bottom of this and understand is completely
Thank you
