How to get OAuth2 access token from OAuth1 token and secret with API v2

How to get OAuth2 access token from OAuth1 token and secret with API v2

All current users of our mobile app have OAuth1 token and secret stored for using their Dropbox account.  With the migration to API v2, we must use OAuth2 access tokens.  How can the OAuth1 token and secret be converted to an OAuth2 access token? The API v2 provides a route called /token/from_oauth1 which seems to provide a means to do this, but it requires an OAuth2 access token in order to work.  That makes no sense to me since it seems to require that you already have the answer in order to ask the question.  How can /token/from_oauth1 be used? And how can we convert our OAuth1 tokens and secrets to OAuth2 access tokens?

Migrating existing access tokens is not required. You can have your users relink if you'd prefer.
