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)?

Hi dpellic996,
As Greg already noted, you can initiate and perform authorization (granting access to particular account data) either by hand (without redirect URI; copy-past access code by hand) or automated (automatic redirect from Dropbox site back to your application). An example, that uses redirect URL and that you can take a look on, can be seen here. 😉 I believe this will give you idea how the things could go.
Hope this helps.
