Dropbox Community ModeratorFor reference, this is a Core API a.k.a. API v1 endpoint, documented here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#files_put
API v1 supports both OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 for authentication, with OAuth 2 being preferred. When you make an API call, the OAuth access token you supply with it identifies the relevant account.
To specify the path you want to upload to in that account, you put the path on the URL (where the <path> placeholder is shown). This should be the entire path, including any parent folders, as well as the desired filename. E.g., to upload a file as test.txt inside a "Documents" folder in root, the path would be: "/Documents/test.txt".
