Hi

II'm trying to download files from Dropbox In  pb app.

I tried to use the rest api, as was demonstrated on Kevin's webinar.

That works well, but the access token used is temporary only... And expires. 

How can I code a script for that, but with a permanent code that does not expire?

I guess that should be the most usabale form since powerscript code should be automated and not rely /ask for newly refresh token every session.

Thanks

Michael

It wouldn't be very secure if the token lasted forever.

I have no problem with the security.

The app has a login and password, and log activity.

It's the same as mail user password login.



And the access should be to a specific location.



I don't see how access to Dropbox files can be of any use, and can be done "behind the curtains" if it requires a newly access token every session with another tedious authentication.



Any way a solution would be very appreciated.

Thanks

I would suggest you check with Dropbox whether they support token that never expires or not. If Dropbox doesn't support what you want to do there is nothing from PowerBuilder side can fix Dropbox security restriction.
