Hi All, I will really appreciate it, if someone can help me find a solution to my problem. I have a new plex server set up and I am mounting my dropbox content with rclone. It works for 4 hours and the token expires and it never refreshes. I have followed steps and I was able to mount it without a problem. I hope that someone can point me to the right direction. One thing that I forgot to mention is that the Dropbox account is being used on my old server with a none expiring token that has been created 2 years ago.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.58.1
os/version: debian 10.10 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 4.19.0-17-amd64 (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.17.9
go/linking: static
go/tags: none
YES
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
DROPBOX
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
These tokens have been phased out by dropbox, or are being phased out. Use rclone config reconnect pfETdb: to get a new token and rclone will refresh it as necessary.
Thank you, my old server which is currently working has that dropbox mount and it is working fine. I don't want to refresh it. My new server is the one that the rclone mount expires. Should I proceed anyway?
That is weird because the Client ID and the secret are correct, I wouldn't be able to list the folders, if the client id and secret are not valid, right?
It was clean/fresh installation. I follow the simple steps from rclone config, I selected dropbox and I entered my username and password that I use to access files. Should I go to the dropbox console and use the appkey and the appsecret instead for the app I created?
When you ran rclone config, there is a section to enter in the client ID and secret:
Storage> dropbox
Option client_id.
OAuth Client Id.
Leave blank normally.
Enter a value. Press Enter to leave empty.
client_id>
Option client_secret.
OAuth Client Secret.
Leave blank normally.
Enter a value. Press Enter to leave empty.
client_secret>
Edit advanced config?
y) Yes
n) No (default)
y/n>
Did you leave that part blank? There isn't any spot to enter in a user name and password.
