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.

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.
