Dropbox Community ModeratorThe Dropbox OAuth app authorization flow is a way to have the user authorize the app to access their own Dropbox account. If your app is only meant for connecting to your own account, you would only need to process that flow once for your own account.

Then I send a transactional email with the URL and other information.
I am not requiring an user to login with a Dropbox account. They will not sync any file, just download it. Maybe the term "share" I used it is not the most accurate.
Thanks for the support!
