Dropbox .NET SDK (Refresh Token)
Hi,
I found changes in OAuth2 for API, so the authorization could be done with offline access, ascuirung both Access and Refresh tokens. This part is OK, with ProcessCodeFlow method in SDK. But could not find any method to refresh access token using saved refresh token.
Can you please help me with this case?
Thanks,
GevorgMel This functionality should now be available on DropboxTeamClient as of release v5.1.0. Please update and give that a try and let us know if you run in to any issues. Thanks!

The Dropbox .NET SDK should automatically do the refresh for you, on every client creation and API call as needed.
If you do want to explicitly refresh though, e.g., to get an access token with fewer scopes, you should be able to use RefreshAccessToken to do so, as shown in the example here.
Let us know if something isn't working as expected though.
- Thank you for the reply and link to RefreshAccessToken method. I found this method in DropboxClient. What about DropboxTeamClient, I need this client and accordingly to use access token which probably been expired. How I should handle this case?

I believe that's not currently implemented on DropboxTeamClient. I'll ask the team to add that there as well, but I can't promise a timeline for that. I'll follow up here once I have any update on that.
I understand, the Dropbox client can automatically refresh the refresh tokens if fed with the correct access token and refresh token.
But how can I retrieve the actual new access token and refresh token, to store it, for new instances of the DropboxClient?

OFV The Dropbox client in the SDK can and will automatically handle the refresh for you, and you shouldn't even need to access to refresh token or new access token after a refresh. The refresh token doesn't change, and the client will automatically set its new access token. And if you need another client, you can just create it like you did originally and let the client handle the refresh again if needed.
