    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1843626"&gt;@depotsy&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It depends on how large are those files. One option, for not very large files, is usage of Dropbox Saver; take a look &lt;A title="Uploader" href="https://zdravkogarmev.bubbleapps.io/version-test/saver" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt; for example. Other option is implemented client side application (in addition to your server side application) working with upload session; largest possible file would be 350GB.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this gives direction.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Direct file upload to Dropbox</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm writing a small Node.js web app to upload files to Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Login to the application will be via Dropbox OAuth. After this the user will be able to send files to my shared folder&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Typically the file is first uploaded to the server and then uploaded to Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, this results in wasted time and resource consumption when working with large files.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to upload a file directly from the browser under the user's own Dropbox account?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1843626"&gt;@depotsy&lt;/a&gt; As Здравко said, you can implement uploads client-side.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And while you don't need to use an official SDK, we do recommend doing so if possible. For example, the official &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Dropbox JavaScript SDK&lt;/A&gt; supports running in client-side browser JavaScript.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are a few options for uploading to the user's own Dropbox account:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesUpload__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesUpload&lt;/A&gt; for smaller files&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesUploadSessionStart__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesUploadSessionStart&lt;/A&gt;, etc. for larger files&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesSaveUrl__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesSaveUrl&lt;/A&gt; (or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/saver" target="_blank"&gt;the Dropbox Saver&lt;/A&gt;) for smaller files hosted at URLs&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or if don't want to rely on them having a shared folder with you, you can use copy references to copy files between accounts:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesCopyReferenceGet__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesCopyReferenceGet&lt;/A&gt; on the file in the user's account, and then&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesCopyReferenceSave__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesCopyReferenceSave&lt;/A&gt; in your account&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or if you don't want to rely on the user having their own Dropbox account at all, there is an option for client-side uploading to your own account without exposing your access token to the user:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesGetTemporaryUploadLink__anchor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;filesGetTemporaryUploadLink&lt;/A&gt; for smaller files; you would run this server-side in your account, then pass the link to the user's browser and upload to the link from there&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
