[Omri1984]

i am using the offline long token

i have an access token  XXX

and refresh token  YYY

I used the token until it expired

then I used the refresh token method with null to refresh all my scopes.

how can i extract the new access token from the client  in order to save it?

Hi @Omri1984,

The Dropbox .NET SDK (the one most probably you are interested in) is NOT implemented in a way such thing be possible, unfortunately. Probably coder mistake. You need to "hack" DropboxRequestHandler, to be possible something like (or in the DropboxRequestHandlerOptions part, at least).

If you are interested, in other SDKs it's possible the same without hacks, in spite improvements are possible there too (Java SDK for instance).

That's correct, the official Dropbox .NET SDK does not offer a way to retrieve the latest short-lived access token that it has, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

That's not needed for the operation of the .NET SDK though. You don't actually need to supply a short-lived access token. The .NET SDK will automatically retrieve new short-lived access tokens for you, and it doesn't require an existing short-lived access token to do so.
