Here is an example to get the user details using HttpRequest. 
string endPointUrl = your_instance_url + '/services/data/v30.0/query?q=SELECT+ID,+Profile.Name+FROM+User+WHERE+Username=\'username_of_user_record\'';
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndPoint(endPointUrl);
req.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + accessToken);
req.setTimeout(60000);
req.setMethod('GET');
req.setHeader('Content-Type','application/json');
HttpResponse res = new Http().send(req);
system.debug('Response: ' + res.getBody());
Change your_instance_url and username_of_user_record accordingly or the where clause according to your requirement. You can see the response in the debug. You can parse the response body using jsonparser.

Hope this helps.

Hi Krishna,

Thank you for your response.

VF Page:

<apex:page controller="DropboxController">
<apex:form>
    <apex:pageblock>
        <apex:commandbutton action="{!DropAuth}" value="Dropbox Authentication">
    </apex:commandbutton></apex:pageblock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

apex:-

public class DropboxController
{
    //Fetched from URL
    String code ;
    
    public DropboxController()
    {
        code = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('code') ;
        //Get the access token once we have code
        if(code != '' && code != null)
        {
            AccessToken() ;
        }
    }
    
    public PageReference DropAuth()
    {
        //Authenticating
        PageReference pg = new PageReference('https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=vaabb5qz4jv28t5&redirect_uri=https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/DropboxPage&state=Mytesting') ;
        return pg ;
    }
    
    public void AccessToken()
    {
        //Getting access token from dropbox
        String tokenuri = 'https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+code+'&redirect_uri=https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/DropboxPage'; 
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint(tokenuri);
        req.setMethod('POST');
        req.setTimeout(60*1000);
          
        Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf('vaabb5qz4jv28t5' + ':' + 'dpmmll522bep6pt');
        String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
        req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
        Http h = new Http();
        String resp;
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        resp = res.getBody();
        
        System.debug(' You can parse the response to get the access token ::: ' + resp);
   }
}


I changed the key,secrete and redirect url,later i run the code ,
Now i got the response from debug log

{"access_token": "fdNB-pM_uYsAAAAAAAAANrefVrISVc9rcvRdrUmHqq46W26cDanUSzgzUwIQHr_", "token_type": "bearer", "uid": "282967343"}

If you don't mind ,please help me i am new for integration that's why i am asking again ,

Your question wasn't clear to me. Are you trying to get the User details from a Salesforce instance using a REST call?

Hi Satheesh,

After getting the access token from the first call, use the following method in your controller to get the account info from drop box. 
public void getAccountInfo()
   {
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint('https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info');
        req.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + token);
        req.setMethod('GET');
        req.setTimeout(60000);
        Http h = new Http();
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        string resp = res.getBody();

        System.debug(' Account Information :: ' + resp);
   }

For more information on how to get and upload files refer the core api of dropbox. Here is the link for the same.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs

Hope this helps.
