    <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API does not offer a way to get an access token just by exchanging the app key and secret. The app key and secret only identify your app itself. In order to access a&amp;nbsp;Dropbox account, the app needs authorization from the account owner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Typically, to get authorization from the user and&amp;nbsp;receive an access token for the end-user, the app should implement and use the OAuth app authorization flow. You can find information on how this works in &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Need-help-in-connecting-drop-box-API/m-p/420554#M1213" target="_self"&gt;the OAuth Guide&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Note that if you only need to access your own account though, you can just manually get an access token for your own account once and then store and re-use that for API calls to your account without further manual intervention. Make sure you don't expose your access token to other users though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Team,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I want to upload files from one dropox folder to another and i want to automate this job using azure logic app.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I dont want to use drop box connectors provided by logic app , instead i want to write a .net core webapi which will connect to my dropbox app and then using dropbox http api's it can start uploading files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dropbox supports .net SDK which contains helper classes to connnect to dropbox and it uses Oauth2 for authorization. I don't want to use oauth code flow where owner of dropbox account has to allow permissions from front end browser.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Instead i want something like passing client and client secret for the app and it should return me an access token which will be used to call dropbox apis .&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks and Regards,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Shriram&lt;/P&gt;</description>
