Getting Your Access Token

For Development / Testing

  1. Go to the Dropbox App Console
  2. Click Create app
  3. Choose Scoped access and Full Dropbox (or App folder for restricted access)
  4. Name your app and click Create
  5. Under Permissions, enable the scopes you need (e.g., files.metadata.read, files.content.write)
  6. Go to the Settings tab and click Generate under Generated access token
  7. Copy the token

For Production

Use the OAuth2 authorization code flow to obtain a long-lived refresh token. See the Dropbox OAuth Guide for details.

Usage

Once created, this connection becomes available in:

  • Dropbox — list, upload, download, delete, move, and search files

TIP

Short-lived access tokens expire after a few hours. For workflows that run on a schedule, use a refresh token flow to keep the connection active.
