Dropbox Community ModeratorThe Dropbox API does allow you to upload files to Dropbox accounts, but it's not designed to work directly from HTML forms.
You can upload files either from the client (e.g., in the browser via JavaScript) or server-side.
We recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation
For example, to upload directly from the browser, you would use the JavaScript SDK:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js
Or, you can upload the data to your server first, and upload it from there to the Dropbox API.
In any case, each of the SDKs has a tutorial for getting started, so I recommend working through those.
