Also, Josh, this contains the most detailed information on the Dropbox API upload rate limit I can find: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyeu6wxxf3sy391/Dropbox_Business_Plans_Sales_Guide.pdf?dl=0

Information elsewhere is very sparse. It's barely mentioned anywhere on the Dropbox developers part of the website outside of that one API call. It really only appears in business plan information on Dropbox's website.
Using Google, you can see that besides that PDF doc, Greg's comment on a forum post is the only other place that describes which API calls contribute to the API upload limit.
(this seems a bit like a half-finished "feature" created by business people that was launched before Dropbox APIs/SDKs team could really catch up)
