» {"error_summary": "invalid_access_token/..", "error": {".tag": "invalid_access_token"}}

[Waltons72]

can you give me an exsample on how this offline url should work on the outh redirect

Your authorization URL should look like:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authoriz ... _type=code

when i try add this to the
Redirect URIs on OAuth 2 after replace yje clinet ID with my app key it show inviald domain

https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide


the offline part is what refreash the token for new one

The Full Process to get a Refresh Token
Authorize: Paste the URL above into your browser while logged into your Dropbox account and click Allow.

and when i try used that url in my browser with my app ley in the url it just redirect me to the search engine

Since i couldn't get this extention work i found a better option using the muilcloud ftp transfer to google drive

[Waltons72]

still having problems get this extention to work

the error log shows

Dropbox returned the error
» {"error_summary": "invalid_access_token/.", "error": {".tag": "invalid_access_token"}}

The Dropbox upload failed

Dave,

do you plan on update the extention to add support for the refreash token to the extention as i think those short live token is what cause the extention to failed and i never got the extention to work.
