My recommendation is also to use a SDK which abstracts over authentication. CloudRail for Node.js could be very useful here. It's quite easy to use and works for other providers like OneDrive as well.

const service = new cloudrail.services.Dropbox(
    cloudrail.RedirectReceivers.getLocalAuthenticator(8082),
    "[Dropbox Client Identifier]",
    "[Dropbox Client Secret]",
    "http://localhost:8082/auth",
    "someState"
);

service.upload(
    "/myFolder/myFile.png",
    readableStream,
    1024,
    true,
    (error) => {
        // Check for potential error
    }
);
