    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I got a token by creating a dummy app,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then cut-and-paste in the header, and it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;works fine (eg. /2/files/upload etc.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;my question is: how can one get the token&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;without creating that dummy app? -- since&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I could do the upload etc. before, manually&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thru the website...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can't upload to the Dropbox API without using an API app.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In order to upload to&amp;nbsp;Dropbox via the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API, you need a&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API access token, and you can only get an access token via an API app.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Note though that if the app is going to be distributed to end users, they don't need to register their own API apps.&amp;nbsp;They can get an access token for your app on their account using the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide" target="_self"&gt;OAuth flow&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you only need this app to upload to your own account, you can just continue using the app you registered and the token you retrieved.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
