CC3200 No expiration token
Hi,
Our IOT devices use the CC3200 chipset and drop box for OTA updates. Now It is not working with short lived tokens.
Is there any workaround to get the "no expiration" token?
Regards...

No, Dropbox no longer offers the option for retrieving new long-lived ("no expiration") access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here. Instead, to get long-term access, apps should 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. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation.
For reference, while the creation of new long-lived access tokens is now deprecated, 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) without interruption, if you have any.
