    Description

      The API used to access dropbox currently only supports the parameter "accesstoken"
      for ex. in the route:

      .to("dropbox://put?accessToken={{dropbox.accessToken}}"
                          + "&clientIdentifier={{dropbox.clientIdentifier}}"
                          + "&uploadMode=force"
                          + "&remotePath=/to_cellular/")

      (by the way, the last '/' at remotePath is needed, otherwise the upload fails with 'KO')

      After creating an access token inside the dropbox console and use it inside the route, the API works, but it will only work for 4 hours, after that, the following error message will be thrown:

      InvalidAccessTokenException: {"error_summary": "expired_access_token/...", "error": {".tag": "expired_access_token"}}

      Dropbox did change their strategy and not supporting long-lived access tokens anymore.

      From the dropbox documentation: On September 30th, 2021, Dropbox will retire the creation of long-lived access tokens. Apps that require background (“offline”) access but have not yet implemented refresh tokens will be impacted.

      Implement refresh tokens: For apps that want to interact with the Dropbox API when a user isn’t actively interacting with the app (“offline” access)", we offer a long-lived refresh_token that can be used to request a new, short-lived access token.

      see here: https://dropbox.tech/developers/migrating-app-permissions-and-access-tokens

      Therefore I think there must be an adjustment in the API Camel is using.
