I found the issue - and it looks the same as reported by Freddie also.
For some installs I am using OAuth1 and the POST /1/files/dropbox/ method to upload. This doesn't seem to work anymore.
For other installs I am using the (recommended) OAuth2 and PUT /1/files_put/dropbox method to upload. This works ok.
The reason I do things differently for different installs is that I use the (unsupported?) dbapi-2:// URL method to launch the Dropbox app (if installed) in order to get it to authorise the user. It then returns me the OAuth1 fields. I guess I could use OAuth1 and the files_put method, but I could get that to work and it always worked the old way.
So my conclusion is that Dropbox have stopped supporting OAuth1 and the POST /1/files/dropbox method recently? Or perhaps they stopped supporting it a while ago and it's only now that it's actually stopped working? Nothing to do with iOS9.3 or even iOS.
