Yes, you need an access token to upload to an account via the API.

If you just need to upload to your own account, you can get an access token for your app-user pair by using the "Generate" button on your app's page on the App Console.

Otherwise, to get an access token for any arbitrary account, you'll need to use the OAuth app authorization flow. The .NET SDK examples show how to implement that.
