Server-side application with NO way to use the standard OAuth flow
One of our server-side applications should be able to access all of our Dropbox Business files. This application is exclusively meant for use by our own organization, for background file handling, me...
Hello,
Can you elaborate a bit more on how to refactor the code to accomplish what you said? I am looking into the examples https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/tree/main/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples but seems that they actually include more things that this needs like some redirect URLs, JS handling, etc. Which example could I follow?

Dropbox Community ModeratorRosenPetrov The examples you linked to are the current samples for implementing the OAuth app flow with the Dropbox .NET SDK. Are they not working for you, or can you clarify what you're stuck on?
Hi,
I am looking into the 'SimpleTest' and I see these LoopbackHost, RedirectUri and JSRedirectUri but in my case I need this Authentication to happen in a background without user interaction. Could you point me in the right direction how I could accomplish that. Maybe some high level steps but not code would be enough.
Thanks 🙂

Rosen Petrov It is not possible to get authorization to access an account purely via a background process. Authorizing an app requires manual user interaction the first time, for the user to indicate to Dropbox that they want to allow the app to access their account. After that though, the app can store and re-use the resulting access token and optional refresh token to make further API calls without further manual user interaction. I recommend reading the OAuth Guide for more information on how this process works at a high level.
