can't upload files with curl
I am trying to upload files with curl. Based on community advice I think this should be correct: curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \ --header "Authorization: Bearer...

Yes, /2/files/upload only supports files up to 150 MB. For larger files, use upload sessions.

That code looks correct, and it's working for me. (Browsing there in a browser isn't supposed to work.)
Is this the exact code you're running? Can you share the full code/output? (Just be sure to redact the access token of course.) You can also add a "-v" flag to tell curl to show verbose output.

Intersting, now that I look at the output in more detail I see
< HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large
This is a 2.3GB file. Should I be uploading this in a different way?
