Access dropbox api without clientside authentication?

I'm trying to create a smooth solution for sharing files with a custom presentation of the files (logos fonts etc).

My ideal would be to put the files in a dropbox folder and then have a webpage, on a separate server, access those files over javascript and display a list of them linked to the actual files.

A demand is that the end user don't have to authenticate with a dropbox acocunt in order to access the files. I would rather like to use a public folder or use files from another account.

Is there any way to maintain a auth-session serverside, something like a permanent sessionID or something like that?

Just do the authentication one time, approve your app, get your authentication key, and in the code:

$dbxClient = new dbx\Client($accessToken, "PHP-Example/1.0");
$accountInfo = $dbxClient->getAccountInfo();
print_r($accountInfo);

Change:

$accessToken to "{Your auth key}"

or put the line:

$accessToken = "{authentication code here}";

above that code.
