      <description>No, Dropbox API apps should use the OAuth app authorization flow to let the user authorize the app in their browser. This way, apps never handle the user's username and password.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;There's an example of this in the Java SDK here:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/authorize" target="_blank"&gt;https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/tree/master/examples/authorize&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Note that once your app has an access token for a user, it doesn't need any further manual user intervention. It can store and re-use that access token for future calls automatically.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If the device your app runs on doesn't have a browser though, feel free to open a ticket with more details and we'll see if there's any help we can offer:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact&lt;/A&gt;</description>
