Hi sffatcat,

Take in mind that tokens are associated to corresponding accounts, not to specific folders (including team folders). Once you have OAuth flow done, you can use resulted token to access all folders accessible for particular team member.

then use the token in script to send file to the Team folder?

Content handling (upload/download) require a team member to be impersonated. While in personal account there is only one user and nothing needs to be clarified, team account has least 3 members/users. To be clear who your script acting behind, you need to specify the user using Dropbox-API-Select-User header or equivalent method when you use some SDK (take a look in corresponding documentation).

I know we can do a app on user's own personal folder with a token.

Take in mind in personal account user home namespace matches account root, but these are different when you are part of a team. By default, on team account, the member home folder is handled as call root. So if nothing else specified everything outside the home lefts inaccessible! To be able access files/folders outside your home folder, you need to set explicit namespace to be used as root using Dropbox-API-Path-Root header or equivalent method when you use some SDK.

Hope this helps.
