Dropbox Community ModeratorWhile the initial authorization needs manual user intervention to authorize the app, the user does not need to be present after that. If your app requires long-term access without the user present, you should request "offline" or "background" access via the OAuth app authorization flow. That way, you can get a refresh token that you can use to retrieve short-lived access tokens whenever needed without further manual user intervention.
Please refer to the OAuth Guide and documentation, as well as this post, for more information.
Ok. Is this approach implemented in the C # SDK by Dropbox.Api?
Since from the console platform you give the possibility to generate an access token, wouldn't it be possible to generate a refresh token to be used later by applications to request the access token?

The official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK does support short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens. You can find example code here.
The "Generate" button on the app info page on the App Console does not currently offer the ability to generate a refresh token, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
