API access token expired

[Emron]

Hi,

i am using some of the http api endpoints to upload or download files. As i saw in the documentation the API access tokens never expire but can only be revoked. For some reason after i use my token for a day or so i get the message "expired_access_token". Then i need to create a new one. Of course i never revoked it manually or from the api.

I have another account where there i don't have any issue. My token is still working after many months. I followed the same process to create both of them but still they are different. The token for my old account is 64 characters long but the new one is 139 and always starts with "sl.".

Am i doing something wrong? Did anything change on how Dropbox is producing access tokens? Thanks in advance for any help.

@AlexStudio Yes, the "Generate" button now also produces short-lived access tokens. If you need a refresh token, use the OAuth app authorization flow. Check out the links in my previous message for information on that.
