I used to use the example of Dropbox’s chooser API to illustrate this: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser

If you use this API (via a simple widget library) then the user simply picks a file in their dropbox and the app gets access to that one file. Vs OAuth where you grant the app broad access to the whole dropbox (or maybe some sub-folder).
