I dont want to gain access to their account, I want to use my account refresh token and app key. Is this possible ?

The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. While it is technically possible to always connect to just one account for all users, we do not officially support this, for various technical and security reasons.

    Absolutely understandable, would you be able to direct me on this flow?

      whats, you can take a look here how you can perform OAuth by hands and use the refresh token in your code (you'll need app secret too by the way).

        Hey thank you so much! What does your code look like in xcode once you have these parameters? What are you calling?
