Dropbox module fail - DB keeps changing token!

LivresInOz · 10-20-2022, 06:23 PM

The module wont get folder list and when I go to the 'app' on Dropbox, I notice that it is offering me to 'Generate access token'.

Then it generates a different one to the one on my device.

I only just started using it after trying it out a few months ago, and its the second time this has happened.

Anyone know what to do?

I found this but how would I do it?

"Authorization codes are temporary, and can only be used once. So, instead of trying to re-use an authorization code or authorizing the app each time, you should store and re-use the resulting access token, passing it directly to the DropboxClient constructor."

I notice 'local folder' is not set.
Cause?

Get the latest nightly build of KOReader or wait a couple of days for the October release.
Then go to https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/9496 and read the instruction on how to get Dropbox refresh token.
In KOReader create new Dropbox cloud storage with your refresh token and app_key:app_secret.
Enjoy.
