    Hi ogurchik222,

    Unfortunately, in Dropbox Python SDK examples is not any like you are looking for. I have posted some time ago some code (not exactly what you ask for) which do the authentication flow (on first run) and actual work in the same module. You can split this code and use the part responsible for authentication flow on machine with browser (just a single call) and the other part on your browserless server. 😉 The configuration file, once created, can be copied in a way convenient for you on the same/equivalent place. I believe this example gives a way you can use in your Python Software.

    Good luck.
