Using ETL tool's REST utility to download a folder with REST get URL

Thanks, I was trying to use dropbox/foldername or home/foldername and was getting 404. Now it is working fine!
One more question or confirmation, this is the path I followed:
1. Created a new app
2. used the link to allow access to App and generate the authorization code:
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<YOUR-APP-KEY>&response_type=code
3. then using the below command generated the authorization token for use in the header of the HTTP Request:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=<YOUR-AUTHORIZATION-CODE> -u <YOUR-APP-KEY>:<YOUR-APP-SECRET>
My question is - can we generate the token using the GENERATE button in the OAuth2 section of MyApp and used it as Authorization: Bearer <token> in the header?
Please advise.
