Dropbox .NET SDK - DropboxClient usage

Hi all,

 

I'm working with Dropbox .Net v2 api from nuget (6.22.0) in a Windows Desktop application (.net core 3.1).

 

I successfully integrate the OAuth2 flow as recommends in documentation:

A client-side Desktop app or mobile app that requires background access: Use the OAuth code flow with PKCE, with refresh tokens.

 

With given information I'm able to create the DropboxClient class:

 

 

Documentations defines that the DropboxClient automatically refresh the access_token, but that happens on any type of API calls?

As example, when I perform a client.Files.DownloadAsync, before actually do it, is the access_token refreshed if expired?

 

What is the recommends usage of the client; create, perform a request then dispose, or; should it be a single instance and stay alive for the entire app life time?

 

Thanks in advance.
 
Ciao
  • The client will automatically perform the refresh process for you whenever needed, on any such call, so you do not need to dispose of your existing client.
