The API is a programming interface, intended for developers creating third-party applications that interface with Dropbox. While it can certainly be used to transfer data to and from your account, you would need programming experience and would need to build your own app to handle the transfers for you.

There is no direct way to transfer data between cloud services. You'll either need to download and reupload your data, or use a third-party service such as mover.io (which uses the API you referenced earlier).
