No, the API only accepts the Content-Type values mentioned as expected in the error message.

      Specification regarding the Content-Type value for uploading files using Dropbox v2 API.

      That only these Content-Type values can be used.

      "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack"

        I don't believe that's called out specifically in the documentation, but that information from the error message is correct. (It's also shown in the curl examples.)
