Access Token Generation in Production Environment
The Auto-Generate Access Token Tip & Trick works fine in Sandbox Environment . The doubt is can this approach also be used in Production Environment for one's own account - ( say business e-mail account ) ? Or OAuth 2 Authorization Code Grant Flow has to be adopted ?
( The scenario is where there is a web application in which designated Dropbox folders will be created and shared from a Business Admin Account with bonafide service users - but users Dropboxes are not accessed direclty. )

You can use a generated access token in whatever environment you wish; Dropbox doesn't distinguish between your sandbox/production environments when receiving the API calls.
There isn't any functional difference between generated access tokens and access tokens from the OAuth flow for the same account anyway.
