3. if i refresh the page, Permission\'files.metadata.read' is unchecked?????
dbx=Dropbox(access_token)
dbx.files_list_folder('')
Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": Your app is not permitted to access this endpoint because it does not have the required scope \'files.metadata.read\'. The owner of the app can enable the scope for the app using the Permissions tab on the App Console.')

Did you click "Submit" in the bar at the bottom of the Permissions page after enabling the scope? That's necessary to save the changes. Note that if you haven't dismissed the cookies notification at the bottom, it may be obscuring the "Submit" button, so be sure to do that first.
