Drop box core api limitation

Hello.
Is any drop box file size limit for file upload using the drop box api core?
The limit of 2-16GB for a free acount for all fils uploaded to a drobBox acount is available also for the dropBox core api?

    Hello thansk for your response. I am not using the rest api for upload. I am using the following code:

        File inputFile = new File("License.txt");
        FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
        try {
            DbxEntry.File uploadedFile = client.uploadFile("/magnum-opus.txt",
                DbxWriteMode.add(), inputFile.length(), inputStream);
            System.out.println("Uploaded: " + uploadedFile.toString());
        } finally {
            inputStream.close();
        }
    The no size limit is also available for the above code?
    
  • The limits are the same whether you make the HTTP requests yourself or use a library to do it.
