(C#) Upload String to Dropbox

Uploads a string to a file on Dropbox. This example can upload content up to 150MB, assuming a 150MB string fits in memory for your app. 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.

// This will be the content of the file created in Dropbox.
