Unfortunately, Dropbox does not offer the ability to grant an access token access to specific folder(s). The Dropbox API currently offers two app permissions: "app folder" and "full Dropbox". Access tokens for apps with the app folder permission can only access the special app folder created for the app in the connected account. Access tokens for apps with the full Dropbox permission can access anything in the connected account. You can find more information about the different permissions here.
