Integrating user dropbox acc with a flask app to save user files
I am trying to enable users in my flask app to authorize my dropbox app so that I get an access token that I can store in the db. This access token will be used to push user files to a folder in their dropbox account. I would appreciate if someone could paste any relevant links because I have found the documentation very confusing (compared to the likes of Stripe) and lacking in quickstart examples. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! Based on your mention of "Flask", it sounds like you're trying to use the Dropbox API from Python. To do so, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 Python SDK:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python
We don't have an example for using it with a web framework such as Flask, but you can find examples that make Dropbox API calls here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/tree/master/example
You can find the documentation and some basic sample code for using the OAuth flow with the Python SDK in a web app here:
