Rotate Tokens

Your application should request a new token before the current one expires. All Box SDKs handle this automatically.

Downscope Tokens

Access tokens hold elevated privileges over the content managed by your application. Your application can use them to upload, download, preview and modify any Box content. We strongly recommend that you use a version of the original access token if you need to make the token available on the client side for any reason. This is because of the elevated privileges granted to these tokens. An example of when this would be needed is if you are using the Box Preview UI Element.
