Dropbox Community ModeratorRegarding the shared folders, you might mean shared links to folders, which is a slightly different type of sharing. For reference, that corresponds to the /shares endpoint.
Also, the API can be used with existing shared folders, it just can't currently be used to share or unshare, or add or remove people from folders.
In any case, note that there are two different kinds of access tokens, for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2. It sounds like you're referring to OAuth 1 access tokens, which are each comprised of two pieces, unlike OAuth 2 access tokens. In any case, libraries generally help you get these tokens, so if you want to use DropNet, I recommend referring back to the documentation on how to do that.
Alternatively, we do have a blog post here that shows how to use the OAuth 1 flow manually:
