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 ma...
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.
ok.
so i need to refresh only the access token every 4 hours
but not need to get a new refresh token
did i understand correctly?
very confusing.
you are telling me that i do not need to refresh the token that the .net sdk is doing it for me
but i do need to refresh the access token
did i understand correctly?
