What is the lifetime for an Access Token acquired through the Dropbox oAuth2 APIs?

The answer after the https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token was something like 

{
    "access_token": "fHUlx32x494RmgTlxWiF6pLzd5q1Lg4Itt7I6itVYDIDT",
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "uid": "17233223324"
}

But there's no mention of when the AT expires. If ever.

It effectively never expires. But users can invalidate tokens by unlinking an app. (In the case of an App folder app, they can delete the app folder from their Dropbox. For all apps, they can unlink the app on dropbox.com.)

  • It was a problem at the Dropbox end, they had some issues which they've now fixed. I submitted a ticket via a link you posted in a comment on another question. All good now, thanks for the help. – McNab Jul 01 '15 at 15:39
  • In the case of being a App folder app, if they delete the folder, the app will be unlinked? – MikeVelazco Jan 13 '16 at 23:14
