I am trying to upload files to Dropbox using API v2 /upload endpoint. Sometimes I get a 413 error response from the Dropbox server (Request entity too large).
Unfortunately, maximum file size is not described in the documentation, maybe someone know about it?

Is there a file size limit or maximum file size for Dropbox? All files uploaded to Dropbox can't exceed your storage space quota. There is no file size limit for files uploaded through the desktop or mobile apps, and files uploaded to dropbox.com have a maximum file size of 50 GB.
The direct file upload API supports files up to 50MB in size and sends all the binary data to the Box API in 1 API request. The chunked upload APIs support files from 20MB in size and allow an application to upload the file in parts, allowing for more control to catch any errors and retry parts individually.
For files larger than 10GB you need to download and install the Dropbox client. This will create a local Dropbox folder on your computer and sync everything in your account. Simply place your file in that folder and wait for it to sync.
Your hosting provider defines this limit, and it usually ranges from 2MB to 500MB.
Sorry, we'll add this to the documentation.
I'm pretty sure the limit is unchanged from API v1, so it's 150MB. Beyond that, you should use /upload/session/*.
