My request is not about an app requesting access to the user's Dropbox-account, but rather the other way around.
Users that will be using my Excel-file will need access to a folder in MY Dropbox-account.
From there they will be granted access to a specific folder and the Excel-file will read file-listings and file-contents from Dropbox.

I already used the provided link (from sharing a folder), but that returns a complete HTML-page with a lot of clutter I don't need.
I only need a file-listing first and then in a second step I will need to download one of those files.
