OTA Dropbox refresh-token

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Hi all,

we are using CC3200 module in our product. We use Dropbox for OTA updates. However, Dropbox announced that commencing in September 2021 they are updating their authorization model and will be using "short-lived" access tokens (refresh tokens):

dropbox.tech/.../now-available--scoped-apps-and-enhanced-permissions

So I understand that the access token will expire after some time and the application should periodically update it. However, in the current SDK solution the access token is hardcoded and cannot be changed in runtime.

Do you have any advice how to solve it? Will TI support the "short-lived" access tokens for OTA in the next SDK release?

Thank you

We are evaluating this currently.

We are still not sure whether a fix is required (in the method we are using the token).

If a fix will be required, we will introduce the fix in a new SDK or provide instructions for solving this in our documentation.

It seems that you can work with the existing library if you open a new Dropbox app with the token set with "no expiration" and the read permissions (2nd tab) for "Files and Folders" (both metadata and content) are enabled.

We will keep monitoring this and will update if there is further impact.
