2 console application 1 account -
if i have a user the authenticate in one application get access refresh tokens.
then authenticate in another application is the old token will stop working
or every authentication can exist no matter what.
i am asking this because my company toll doing a migration many for each user ,
if during the migration the user will authenticate again in order to run another migration does the old token will expire and i need to use the new token also for the old migration ?
is my explanation clear ?
Refresh tokens do not expire automatically, but they can be revoked by the app or user on demand. That means by default you do not need to get a new refresh token for an account that is already connected (unless it is explicitly revoked by the app or user).
Short-lived access tokens do expire after four hours. A refresh token is used to perform the "refresh", which is a way to get a new short-lived access token. The Dropbox .NET SDK will do that for your automatically so you don't need to implement that yourself.

Authorizing a new application does not affect existing app authorizations. If you get a refresh token for a particular app on an account, existing refresh tokens for other apps on that same account will not be affected. Accounts can have multiple apps connected at the same time.
