You can use the Dropbox object you instantiated above to make API calls. Test it out to make sure you've linked the right account: dbx.users_get_current_account() dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN') (Tip: You can generate an access token for your own account through the App Console). To instantiate, pass in the access token for the account you want to link.
In order to make calls to the API, you'll need an instance of the Dropbox object. You'll need to use the app key created with this app to access API v2. Select Dropbox API app and choose your app's permission. To use the Dropbox API, you'll need to register a new app in the App Console. Just make sure you have the the Python SDK installed first!
