As Rich has mentioned, Dropbox does not offer long-lived access tokens. That said, following the steps on the provided guides should help you get long-term access tokens.
As far as creating a static folder for public access, you can easily create a folder via the /files/create_folder_v2 endpoint first. Once that folder has been created, and depending on your use case, you can:
- Create a shared link for the newly-created folder by sending a request to /sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings, for a broadcast-style sending use case.

I hope you find this information helpful!
