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.

Здравко Tried with oauth_pkce script
Now used the same refresh code with the below snippet:
with dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_refresh_token=refresh_token, app_key=key, app_secret=secret) as dbx:
dbx.users_get_current_account()
print("Successfully set up client!")
Received the following error:

Thanks that did worked, this is where the whole confusion was. I was thinking the code generated here is `Refresh Token`. But realized this is just `Authorization Code` and checkouted out the solution here as well. Which had clear steps which mentions there are 3 types of tokens `Authorization Code`, `Refresh Token` & `Access Token` (Oauth Token)
Its better the body here is modified to `Authorization Code Generated` instead `Access Code Generated` just confused here.
Used the command here
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d code=AUTHORIZATIONCODEHERE \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -u APPKEYHERE:APPSECRETHERE
And from the JSON generated above copied the `Refresh Token` and used it as a python request post() method to fetch the `json().access_token`curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d refresh_token=REFRESHTOKENHERE \ -d grant_type=refresh_token \ -d client_id=APPKEYHERE \ -d client_secret=APPSECRETHERE
And finally it works with dropbox.Dropbox(<access_token>) thanks Здравко DB-Des Greg-DB for the help
