Version 4.7 does not support refresh tokens! Update it (your application too).

Omri1984 If you are using v4.7 of the Dropbox .NET SDK, then as Здравко noted, that won't work because that version of the Dropbox .NET SDK didn't support refresh tokens.
It sounds like by "4.7" you may be referring to the version of the .NET framework itself though, not the Dropbox .NET SDK.
Either way, if you still need help with this, please share the rest of the information I requested so we can take a look.

Hi Omri1984,
You are "not doing refresh token at all" - exactly; and that's where you issue is coming from. 🤷 I have no idea why you refuse to understand that.

No, here you are wrong! Version 4.7 doesn't manage that automatically because, at time it had been "on go", had been no need of such management. In meantime many things get changed. Now access token is valid for at most 4 hours (seems, you miss this), not valid forever (as before - 4.7 time)! To prolong the validity, refresh token gets need (something 4.7 doesn't support). That's why you have to update your SDK to recent one and adapt your application use refresh token on client initialization (not access token only). Everything else (most of your application) is back compatible and can stay the same. 😉
Hope this helps.
