Getting Your Access Token
For Development / Testing
- Go to the Dropbox App Console
- Click Create app
- Choose Scoped access and Full Dropbox (or App folder for restricted access)
- Name your app and click Create
- Under Permissions, enable the scopes you need (e.g.,
files.metadata.read,files.content.write) - Go to the Settings tab and click Generate under Generated access token
- 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.
