So, if I got it right, using a redirect URI is the only way for generating a refresh token automatically (i.e. not manually by authorizing by myself)?

Dropbox StaffNo, a redirect URI is not required to get a refresh token. Whether or not a redirect URI is used though, the manual authorization step does need to be handled by the user manually in order to authorize the app to access their account and receive a refresh token. This only needs to be done once per account though; the refresh token can then be stored and re-used programmatically without the user present.
