Upload a file to Drobox using a file stream. This example can upload files up to 150MB. Larger files must be uploaded with an upload session (upload_session/start).

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
' Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
' See Dropbox Access Token.

Dim rest As Chilkat.Rest
Set rest = Chilkat.NewRest
