Since the Dropbox API was changed about a year ago, users have found that they need to continually apply for new tokens for the node Auth to work. This topic is to discuss the issue, and try and find a resolution to restore functionality.

@hardillb - Ben, you did a PR about a year ago for the Dropbox node, was the purpose of that to deal with short-term tokens, as I see that you mention it in the node's amended node tip.

:man_shrugging: you exepect me to remember something longer ago than last week? Do you have a link to a PR/merge?

Updated. I won't know for sure if the token stayed active until tomorrow. Unless there is another way to check that you'd like me to try.

Looks like the code got merged, but never published to npm (@dceejay can you publish it please)

Other than that, if dropbox have changed things again then somebody will need to step up and propose a PR to fix it as I don't use the node and don't have the bandwidth to fix/test at the moment.
