After token refresh contents still need authorization to download
import dropbox
box = dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_refresh_token=<Refresh_Token>, app_key=<app_key>, app_secret=<app_secret>)
With logging info able to see the following message:
```
INFO : R...
Hi again lalith-mcw,
I just tried it out and it's working for me. Are you certainly passed the refresh token to and not something else? 🧐 Also to work correctly, the app key must match to the refresh token (for PKCE app secret is optional, but when given must be correct and matching too).
You can check if your params are correct using following command line:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d refresh_token=<YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE> -d client_id=<YOUR_APP_KEY_HERE>
Replace <YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE> to the content of refresh_token var and <YOUR_APP_KEY_HERE> to the content of key var from your code. If everything is correct you will get back something like:
{"access_token":"sl.AbX9y6...","expires_in":14400,"token_type":"bearer"}Otherwise, you will get appropriate error message and should fix whatever needed.
Good luck.
Add: You can get as working example one my earlier post here.

Dropbox EngineerHi!
We'd recommend confirming the following:
- Make sure the refresh token value being passed to oauth2_refresh_token corresponds to the app key and secret being used
- Make sure that the value being passed to oauth2_refresh_token is a refresh_token and not an access_token
Those are typically the reasons why invalid_access_token error would be thrown for a refresh token.

DB-Des, Is the API that returns the 'invalid_access-token' error in such cases? 🧐 Isn't better making error text to match what actually happens? Why when error code is 400 and match to 'invalid_grant', the SDK always assumes invalid access token, while there are different cases possible?
I would suggest the actual error message to be passed in SDK instead of fixed text as by now done here. 😉
