Permanent Token?
I'm really just double checking here... because it looks like DB is moving to the refresh-token model, and this is not robust enough for what I want to do.
We are trying to use Dropbox to uplo...

The refresh token is permanent (if not intentionally revoked or until revoke). About the "specific area": application folder access (instead of full access), doesn't it cover your expectations?

Wait, the refresh token doesn't expire?
So I can exchange the static refresh token for a new token each time I run? I am deploying this to a couple dozen autonomous systems. I need to be able to do this knowing that the token is basically permanent until I revoke it.

...Exactly. Or least to a moment (if any) when application itself revoke it or user, who granted access, revokes it.

If you are using some supported SDK, usually refreshing is performed in the SDK on demand (function/method call) automatically (without you do anything in addition).
OK, Looks like I made the refresh token work, and obtained one.
I'll test and see if this works for me. Thank you!
