It sounds like you want to use the "app folder" permission. You can find more information about the different permissions here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide#app-permissions

You can select the permission when registering an app:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create

When using the API with an app with the app folder permission, you just supply paths such as "/test.txt" and the API will automatically interpret that to mean a file named "test.txt" inside your app's app folder.
