Refresh token without using oauth

Gilles219

Dear all

 

I am developing a web platform for managing a company file. It will mainly allow certain employees or external users to upload files on the company's dropbox account. Every actions like folder creation, file addition, etc,  will be done exclusively on the company's dropbox account, so I do not need the authorization of the dropbox account of the enduser of the website.

 

I would like to know what would be the best way to generate the token for the different requests transparently to the users of the platform (without the oauth2 flow since I  need  only access to the company's dropbox account)

 

Thanks

 

Sorry for my english

It's not possible to get a refresh token without using the OAuth flow, but refresh tokens don't expire, so you only need to process the OAuth flow once per Dropbox account. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. There's also an example here that may be helpful.
