First, you will need official Dropbox iOS SDK. Next, you will need an application key, which you can obtain from Dropbox website (choose MyApps). You will notice that the Dropbox iOS SDK comes with a bundled demo application, so have a look there. Also, good starting tutorial can be found here.
To access a file, your code will look something like:

 NSString* consumerKey; //fill your key
 NSString* consumerSecret ; //fill your secret
 DBSession* session = [[DBSession alloc] initWithConsumerKey:consumerKey 
       consumerSecret:consumerSecret];
 session.delegate = self;
 [DBSession setSharedSession:session];
 [session release];
 if (![[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked])
 {
        DBLoginController* controller = [[DBLoginController new] autorelease];
        controller.delegate = self;
        [controller presentFromController:self];
 }
 DBRestClient *rc = [[DBRestClient alloc] initWithSession:[DBSession sharedSession]];
 self.restClient = rc;
 [rc release];
 self.restClient.delegate = self;

 NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
 NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
 NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"SampleFile.txt"];
 [self.restClient loadFile:@"/example/SampleFile.txt" intoPath:filePath];

Please note that iOS Dropbox SDK requires iOS 4.2 or greater.
