PS: we use oauth v1 to get token. the api :
https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token
https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/access_token
https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/oauth2/token_from_oauth1
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=
The user only input dropbox username and password. we will send the Authentication URL to the user email by our device. (our device have no browse). the user open the URL by phone or pc to Authorization our app to access their dropbox.
How can we use oauth 2 to achieve this function . many thanks.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm the developer of an app on a platform (webOS) where the Dropbox login page is broken in the native browser. With OAuth 1 I solved this by having the user open the authorization URL on another device, where they only needed to approve the authorization request and the app would start working afterwards.
With OAuth 2 the user needs to additionally transfer the auth token back to the webOS device, which makes it even more complicated for the user. I don't think there's an easier solution with OAuth 2 though.
