“something similar” to SCP for Dropbox

I'm trying to backup some file on my Linux server to Dropbox. I do *NOT* want to install Dropbox on my server as I do *NOT* want any of the files on my Dropbox account to be on this server.

I'm looking for something similar to SCP, so it will look like this: 

scp backupDocument.txt mydropbox:/folder/save

Basically I should be able to copy a file from my server and paste that file into my Dropbox account without needing to install Dropbox on the actual server.

I found a solution that allows me to do exactly this. It's called dropbox-up loader. It uses the Dropbox api. It's simple to setup first go get an api key from Dropbox then follow these steps : https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader
I am using it to backup my servers data to my Dropbox every night. (1.5 gib)
