Dropbox removed support for long-lived access tokens a few years ago: https://dropbox.tech/developers/migrating-app-permissions-and-access-tokens This storage implementation thus required re-running the server setup every 4 hours. By replacing the stored access token with a refresh token, and using the `oauth2` package implementation of an HTTP client that automatically refreshes the access token upon expiry, we can once again have long-lived access to the Dropbox API. Currently refresh tokens do not have a default expiry and are not rotated upon access.
