    While the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to upload an entire folder including its contents at once, you can create a folder using /2/files/create_folder_v2, and as Здравко noted, you can upload files using /2/files/upload.

    Folder creation can be skipped. The folder will be created on first file upload if missing. 😉
