As per the GitHub documentation, you first need to download the script and make it executable:

curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/master/dropbox_uploader.sh" -o /tmp/dropbox_uploader.sh
chmod +x /tmp/dropbox_uploader.sh
sudo mv /tmp/dropbox_uploader.sh /usr/local/bin/dropbox_uploader

Then run the uploader to configure (no prefix is needed as /usr/local/bin should be in your PATH):

dropbox_uploader

Once you have confiugred the script, you can add a command to crontab like so (example will trigger at midnight on the first of every month):

0 0 1 * * /usr/local/bin/dropbox_uploader upload [path_to_local_file] [path_to_remote_file]
