What did you try? Can you show your function along with a link to the place in the documentation that you used in order to implement it? – jsejcksn Oct 15 '21 at 10:12

Here's the api docs: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload – Kin Kurnia Oct 16 '21 at 16:07

It would help anyone who wants to give help to you if you'll provide a [Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). (But don't include any of your private Dropbox keys/tokens -- just use a placeholder/fake string for those). – jsejcksn Oct 17 '21 at 03:10

I found the problem, it turns error because the path needs '/' before the filename. – Kin Kurnia Oct 21 '21 at 06:46

You can use the HTTP SDK.
Here is the example using fetch:
const filepath = ""
const filename = ""
const dbxAccessToken = ""
const response = await fetch(
"https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload",
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization":
`Bearer ${dbxAccessToken}`,
"Dropbox-API-Arg":
`{"path": "/${filename}","mode": "add","autorename": true,"mute": false,"strict_conflict": false}`,
"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",
},
body: new Deno.readFile(filepath),
},
);
console.log(response)
