Exchange the authorization code for a re-useable access token - OAuth 2.0 - /oauth2/authorize
When using OAuth 2.0 during /oauth2/authorize while ommiting the redirect url:
https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<key>scope=&state=<state>
This is the [code flow]
the user then is directed to authorize the app, once the app is authorized the user is taken to a page that reads:
Enter this code into <app-name> to finish the process.

I just posted an answer on StackOverflow, but in short, you can use /oauth2/token to exchange an authorization code for an access token:

Greg, you are a genius. Sometimes the issue is so small it is easily overlooked!
FYI, the problem was in:
- https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/token
+ https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token
