I have configured all parameters on manage web services for Dropbox. But I am having to reauthenticate every time I run the workspace. What should I be checking? I also need to schedule it on Server. I am not being able to authorize it on Server as well. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Hi ​@jaygrg111_,

 

Did you end up finding a solution to this one? I’ve been experiencing the same issue (FME 2025) and it seems like it lasts less than 12 hours when being utilised on FME Flow.

 

Thanks

Hi ​@jaygrg111_,

 

After digging around a little bit, it’s actually referenced in the Automating Dropbox Workflows article that:

The Automation is failing with an invalid token

If your automation is occasionally failing due to an invalid token from Dropbox, this is due to Dropbox's OAuth 2.0 Authentication Service generating temporary tokens which last four hours before requiring a reset. There is currently no resolution for FME Flow, please see the Known Issues page for more information on FME Form.

 

The Dropbox trigger in automations is set up differently so doesn’t fail as fast as the web connection.
