Auto authorize with Java client or Mule ESB component

Is there anyway to provide authorization automatically ? The usefulness of providing an API to interact with the data store in Dropbox and requiring a manual authorization is zero.

The exception is correct... you're trying to reuse an authorization code that's already been used. An authorization code can only be used once (and within a limited time period).

What you need to do is reuse the access token.

Once you have an access token, your code can just be this:

DbxClient client = new DbxClient(config, "<YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE>");
