The Dropbox JavaScript SDK is open source, so you can see what it's doing at the following locations in the code for the 'filesUpload' method you're using, for instance:
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/f87aad93834fe3f3d78de45f15fdef1b38dc59ad/src/routes.js#L1165
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/f87aad93834fe3f3d78de45f15fdef1b38dc59ad/src/dropbox-base.js#L534
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/f87aad93834fe3f3d78de45f15fdef1b38dc59ad/src/dropbox-base.js#L585
- https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/f87aad93834fe3f3d78de45f15fdef1b38dc59ad/src/upload-request.js#L12
The method just uploads whatever content you supply to that 'contents' parameter.
Perhaps the files are produced by your web framework itself, for the files posted in that form to begin with? In that case, I'd recommend referring to the documentation/support for that framework.
