Error:

Error while working with Dropbox: com.dropbox.core.InvalidAccessTokeenException ... Expired_accees_token.

After allowing access to dropbox, works, but next day same erro again.

Dropbox forum: "Based on your description, it sounds like you're getting the access token from the "API v2 Explorer". That tool is just meant for prototyping Dropbox API calls, and currently has early access to an upcoming "short-lived access token" feature. That means that, unlike standard Dropbox API access tokens, the access tokens you get from the API Explorer will expire by themselves. (You can identify them by the "sl." prefix you mentioned.)

To get standard Dropbox API access tokens, you should use your own API app registration. For instance, you can use the "Generate" button on your app's page on the App Console, or use the OAuth app authorization flow with your app."

This post is likely the one from dropbox forum mentioned above. The post has a link to another reply of another post in the reply at the bottom. Following is an excerpt from that linked reply:

The actual OAuth flow itself still operates as before though, so in the meantime if you need or want "long-lived" (non-expiring) access token(s) for your app and account, you can use that to get them. If you don't have the flow already built in to your app, the easiest way to do so would be to:

• _Add "https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token" (without quotes) as a redirect URI for your app, via the "OAuth 2" "Redirect URIs" section of your app's page on the App Console._
• _Replace "APPKEYHERE" with your actual app key a.k.a. client ID in this URL: https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token&client_id=APPKEYHERE_
• Browse to that URL while signed in to the account that you want the access token for, and authorize the app. Dropbox will then redirect you to a Dropbox page displaying the (non-expiring) access token.

According to my understanding to the reply, this problem is supposed to be solved from the dropbox app console using a regarding Financier developer's dropbox account. If this is true, does anyone know who is able to do that? Maybe @dsolonenko or @yetanothercoder ?
