The Dropbox API /2/files/upload endpoint is a "content-upload" style endpoint, meaning that it expects the file data for the upload in the HTTPS request body. Exactly how you set the file data in the request body will depend on what HTTPS client you're using. The example included with the documentation is written for curl on the command line, which uses curl's "data-binary" parameter to set the request body.
Other HTTPS clients, such as Guzzle in your case, may use different option names. It sounds like you've already figured out the equivalent for Guzzle and got this working. I can't speak to whether or not there's a better option or method in Guzzle though, as that's made by a third party.
