Dropbox SDK for Ruby and not requiring reauthorization

It seems like I must be missing something here. I'm working on a simple app and I'm starting with Dropbox's tutorial:

# Install this the SDK with "gem install dropbox-sdk"
require 'dropbox_sdk'

# Get your app key and secret from the Dropbox developer website
APP_KEY     = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
APP_SECRET  = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
CODE        = 'QEL2VDUKRj4AAAAAAAAAAcBT_U9GoEvKF2UCXp3h4UA'

flow = DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect.new(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET)
puts flow.start()
access_token, user_id = flow.finish(CODE)

client = DropboxClient.new(access_token)

file = open('working-draft.txt')
response = client.put_file('/magnum-opus.txt', file)
puts "uploaded:", response.inspect

The code only seems to work for one request (or at least one run of the script), and then I get an error:

E:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/dropbox-sdk-1.6.2/lib/dropbox_sdk.rb:69:in `parse_response': invalid_grant (DropboxError)

What do I have to do in order to get this to work without authorizing every single time?

Just store the access token somewhere and reuse it as much as you want.

To try this manually, just print out the value of access_token and then modify your code to just be:

access_token = '<value from previous run>'
client = DropboxClient.new(access_token)
