why the token is becoming obsolete?

I use the dropbox api. But after a few hours, my token is no longer working. How do I make the token work forever?

Thanks, and how long is a regular short-term token valid?

Dropbox API short-lived access tokens are valid for several hours. You can have your app get the actual expiration information from the 'expires_in' value returned with the short-lived access token from /oauth2/token.
