Hi eni8ma,
Yes, it's possible to pre-generate needed data (primarily refresh token) and latter use it. Keep in mind that you have to avoid credentials exposing (either access or refresh token) while your application works (that would be security issue). Take care with that part of design! Example of refresh token generation by yourself may be seen here. Once you have it, you can initialize one of Dropbox SDKs of your choice and proceed further without further user interaction. Also, you can perform API calls on your own (without official SDK), but you should take care to refresh access token as described (all SDKs do this internally) - the choice is yours. 😉
Hope this clarifies matter.
