Upload Files to Shared Folders via Zapier Integration
Within the Zapier integration, there is the ability to upload to Dropbox but not a Shared folder in Dropbox. After reading through the current API documentation it doesn't look like there is a progra...
New Dropbox access tokens are short-lived and expire after a short period of time, but refresh tokens do not expire and can be stored and re-used repeatedly. Once you have a refresh token for an account, you do not need to do the https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize... step for that account again; you can instead programmatically use the refresh token to get a new access token without manual intervention.
You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. There's a basic outline of processing this flow in this blog post which may serve as a useful example.

Dropbox StaffThe Dropbox API can be used to upload to a shared folder in a connected account. For instance, an app can call /2/files/upload with a "path" parameter containing a path inside a shared folder. Note though that you'd need to use an app with the "full Dropbox" access type, not "app folder", to be able to access shared folder.
I suggest reading the File Access Guide for more information on referencing files with the API. Also, read the Team Files Guide for information on how to interact with team-owned content, such as if the folder is in the "team space".
Hey Greg,
The issue I am running into is the OAuth, even with a refresh token it expires pretty quickly and regenerating requires manual intervention each time. The goal is to have the code run each time its triggered in Zapier (and unfortunately requires using request libraries instead of the python sdk). Is there a way to go through this step
and authorize without having to manually allow access each time?
