Yes, you can use /2/files/save_url to save files directly to Dropbox from URLs, instead of saving the data locally first:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url-check_job_status

Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:

Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
