Access without an "app"
Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to access a dropbox account without the token generated in the app console. What I mean is, can I use an api on my python script that will query an input drop...
Yes, that's correct.

If you need an access token for someone else's app to connect to your account, you will need to use the OAuth app authorization flow as documented. (The owner of an app can use the "Generate" button on the app's page on the App Console to create an access token for their own account for that app without using the actual OAuth app authorization flow, but that is only available to the owner of the app in particular.)
I have doubt like , i am team admin, I don't have created business app or neither my team members. In such case how can we create access token for calling APIs with team authentication

vimala_palanisamy22 Connecting an app to a team works the same way as connecting an app to a user account. You would use the OAuth app authorization flow (or the app owner can use the "Generate" button if they just need a short-lived access token), but the developer would enable the relevant "team" scope(s) first.
