How to show option "access token expiration" in settings tab
I use the same account to create 2 apps but why only 1 app has the option 'access token expiration' ? How to make every app have an 'access token expiration' option?
Thank you.
@Greg-DB
Thanks a lot.
But now our App has been released with customers using it and currently I can't change the code.
How can I enable "access token expiration" or on your back-end can it be set to "No expration"? Of course the dropbox package we are using is paid.

Dropbox StaffYou can find more information on handling this migration in the blog post. (Please also make sure that the email address on the Dropbox account that owns your API app is valid and can receive email, as that's where we send advanced notice of changes like this.)
In short though, if your app only requires short-term access and handles 401 errors already, no change is necessary. If your app doesn't handle 401 errors already, or requires long-term access (without user interaction), you would need to ship an update with support for refresh tokens implemented.
If you need more time to complete your migration, feel free to open an API ticket here from the account that owns the API app in question and we may be able to help.
