I also read something about refresh tokens, but I don't know how to extract them and apply them in the code in Power BI. These are credentials you have to use, i think at this moment. In Dropbox, you have a permanent 'App key' and 'App secret', when creating a Dropbox App. Dropbox has an OAuth guide ( ), but I couldn't make it work in Power BI. It seems that OAuth authentication is the new way, but I can't find any examples how to do that with Power BI. In here, it is also stated that this solution doesn't work anymore. It turned out to be the case that everything worked fine before oktober 2022, but after that, the access_tokens are not permanent anymore. To get everything to work, i used this article as the main source. This is not a maintainable solution for connecting with Dropbox in Power BI. After that, you have to generate a new token and use that token to connect. But the access_token that you use, is only valid for a few hours. Everything worked fine on Power BI Desktop and everything also seemed to work fine on Power BI Service, while i was able to refresh it.
I've been working on connecting Power BI with dropbox to extract the content of some files.
