Thanks.  What's the URL I need to go to in order to do that first interaction?  I have already generated the IDs I should need for that step.  I don't see it in the OAuth guide.

Based on your original enquiry and the fact that "offline" access was discussed, your authorization URL would look like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<APP_KEY>&redirect_uri=https://api.intellexcorp.com&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline

As a reminder, for this flow: Once the app has been authorized by the user, the authorization code will be appended as a query parameter to your redirect_uri. It will most likely look something like this:

https://api.intellexcorp.com?code=<AUTHORIZATION_CODE>
