Thanks Здравко and Greg, One more question:

If from a browser I invoke:

   https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fkdw14thym0pxgz&response_type=code&token_access_type=online 
   to get an auth code, 

 

And then, within my VBA app, use the 

 

'curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
' -d code=<AUTHORIZATION_CODE> \
' -d grant_type=authorization_code \
' -d redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URI> \
' -d client_id=<APP_KEY> \
' -d client_secret=<APP_SECRET>

 

Can I get and refresh the token? Does it will work ?

 

Thanks

agomezv Yes, that process would give you a refresh token that can be stored and re-used repeatedly to get new short-lived access tokens as needed.
