I've tried so for the path section i should place "/2/files/SharedPath/Uploads/"
I've tried it but it is not working. Maybe you can give me another example of how to enter "path" based on a "/" file example?

Dropbox Community ModeratorYou should not include "/2/" as part of the path value. That's just part of the API endpoint URL itself.
A valid path would be "/Files/SharedPath/Uploads/UPLOADME.txt" for instance, but it depends on what folders you have in your account of course. Here's an example of how you would upload a file name "resume.docx" to a folder named "Documents": "/Documents/resume.docx".
A good way to work this out is by listing the contents of the account using /2/files/list_folder[/continue] with an empty path to start with:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder/continue
