Can someone explain to me how the application connected in Dropbox works? I contacted the support from the application and they talk about a token but I don't know how it works and I think I can't do nothing myself?

Hi Pixcel,
Yes, your information is correct. Most probably it's going word to an old version of your application. In past Dropbox used to authenticate application connection with one type of token (long lived access token). Recently this type of authentication becomes deprecated and now it's dropped already. Despite existing tokens are keep valid, new can't be created! In present new type of access token is used for long time application links (refresh token). You don't have to be aware of details, but if your application support only the old authentication type and you unlink it, on next link the regular token will be valid only for 4 hours (as you are signaling). Try update your application to latest available version. Let's hope the missing feature has been added there. If you are having the same issue still after update, contact the application's (ISaveMoney) developers and signal to them. Only they can fix it (if it is not yet); you can't do anything but signaling.
Hope this clarifies matter.
