Dropbox doesn't offer an FTP interface, but it does offer an API over HTTPS that you can use to upload and download files, among other operations.

You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers

For example, to upload files, you could use /2/files/upload:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation

Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
