Automatic uploads from iOS/watchOS?

Does the Dropbox API allow for an iPhone/Apple Watch app to automatically upload files (say, after finishing a voice memo)?

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to upload files, so this should be possible:

HTTP: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload
Objective-C: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/Classes/DBFILESUserAuthRoutes.html#/c:objc(cs)DBFILESUserAuthRoutes(im)uploadUrl:inputUrl:
