Please note that when calling /oauth2/token, you should not include an access token. The /oauth2/token endpoint can be used to exchange an authorization code for an access token and optional refresh token, or to use a refresh token to get a new access token. It does not itself expect or accept an access token as input. When calling /oauth2/token, the "Authorization" header is a way to supply the app key and secret, as an alternative to the client_id and client_secret parameters. You can find more information in the documentation for /oauth2/token, as well as this blog post which contains a useful example.
You should only set the redirect_uri parameter on /oauth2/token if you used a redirect_uri on /oauth2/authorize when retrieving the authorization code, and if so, it must exactly match that redirect_uri value.

In postman I have the same issus if I set an Access Token in Authorization part.
Here the post request "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token?code=<AuthorizationCode>&grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=<api_id>&client_secret=<api_secret>"
error
{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "Can't use \"Authorization\" header and \"client_secret\" arg together."
}
if I remove client_id and client_secret from the post request
post request : "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token?code=<AuthorizationCode>&grant_type=authorization_code"
error
{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "The request parameters do not match any of the supported authorization flows. Please refer to the API documentation for the correct parameters."
}
If I remove my Access Token in Authorization part
with post request "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token?code=<AuthorizationCode>&grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=<api_id>&client_secret=<api_secret>"
error
{
"error": "invalid_grant",
"error_description": "redirect_uri mismatch"
}
But Callback URL is the one I set in my dropBox Api... Should I put an other redirect_uri ? And which one ? And where should I set it ? In Param section or Authorization section ?
