      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to get a token key only with APP_KEY and&amp;nbsp;APP_SECRET without&amp;nbsp;redirect_uri&amp;nbsp;the authorizing URL that needes the user to open the URL in a new tab and copy-paste the code?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If not, can I assume that this code will never be expired?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As mentioned in &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#path-formats" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;API documentation&lt;/A&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;For endpoints that accept performing actions on behalf of a team administrator using the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header&lt;/A&gt;, files may be referenced using a namespace-relative path (e.g. "ns:123456/cupcake.png"). In this case, the namespace ID, "123456", would be the shared_folder_id or team_folder_id of the shared folder or the team folder containing the file or folder, and the path, "/cupcake.png", would be the logical path to the content relative to its shared folder or team folder container.&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;For more information take a look on &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Dropbox Business API&lt;/A&gt; documentation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, I saw this on the API, the question is if the admin id that is set in &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener noopener noreferrer"&gt;Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header&lt;/A&gt; must be linked to the token key?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure what you really ask. Dropbox authorization is based on token keys, so such key is something mandatory.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'll rephrase the question,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to use API methods that support&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener noopener noreferrer"&gt;Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header&lt;/A&gt; as&amp;nbsp;authentication like&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;files-upload&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;with a token key that being generated only by app_ket and app_secert (without user approval)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No way.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you install a mail application, for example, is there a way this app can access your mailbox without your consent?! &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@8BFF634FABEFCD8860E49834D32E544B/images/emoticons/1f601.png" alt=":grin:" title=":grin:" /&gt; Would you be glad in such a situation?!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;1. As I said before, I don't want to access into private folders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. this is can be done on OneDrive API&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1257838"&gt;@guymayor&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Здравко is correct; the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to upload files based only on the app key and secret. The app key and secret only identify the app itself. Making changes to an account, such as uploading files, requires authorization to access that account.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API&amp;nbsp;doesn't offer any sort of "app account" or "app storage" where you can upload files outside of any specific user account,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To get an access token for a specific user account for the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API you need to send the user through &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide" target="_self"&gt;the OAuth app authorization flow&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Likewise, to get an access token for an entire&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Business team for the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Business API you need to send a team admin through &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide" target="_self"&gt;the OAuth app authorization flow&lt;/A&gt;. If the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Business API app is registered for the "team member file access" permission, you can then use the resulting access token to access any member's account via &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access" target="_self"&gt;the "member file access" feature documented here&lt;/A&gt;. The individual member doesn't need to additionally&amp;nbsp;authorize the app, as it's been authorized for the entire team by a team admin.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, an actual Dropbox API access token does not expire by itself, but it can be revoked by the user or app at any time. Also, note that "access tokens" are not the same as "authorization codes". Authorization codes are short-lived, single-use codes that can be exchanged for an access token.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
