Regarding Your app is not authorized to use this endpoint.
Hello,
I am working on Dropbox API using below link HTTP API
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation
We have created App and I would like to test File get, file list count and file put operation in Dropbox Account of User Once User give his/her authorization using O Auth-2,
We are redirecting user to authorize and that return us code and based on that I am getting access token by using HTTP Method(CURL Call)
After getting token I am calling API to get files count but getting below error
Error in call to API function "file_requests/count": Your app is not authorized to use this endpoint.

This error message indicates that your app does not have the required scope for accessing that endpoint. For /2/file_requests/count, the required scope is "file_requests.read".
Also, note that the /2/file_requests/count endpoint is for getting the count of "file requests", not actual files. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just retrieve the total number of files in an account, but you can list and count them using /2/files/list_folder[/continue].
