Hi HADES,
Just keep in mind that no any real Dropbox API call can be seen in the code you shared. Another thing is that all access tokens are short lived, so wherever you perform actual API calls it's likely to fail after some time (typically 4 hours). For long term access you need refresh token. If a supported SDK is in use just proper initialization is enough (for the rest SDK takes care), otherwise tracing access token validity and refresh whenever needed should be performed.
Hope this gives direction.
