Dropbox StaffYes, the upload session endpoints allow you to upload a large file by sending it in multiple pieces. (Each piece can be up to 150 MB in size, but something smaller, such as 8 MB, is recommended.) You should send the pieces in order, and you can optionally send them to any of the three endpoints. That is, you can include the first piece of data with the start request, but you are not required to. You can make as many additional calls to the append endpoint as is necessary to upload the entire file. I recommend checking this example to see the flow.
Anyway, if you're getting a 200 status code, that means that the call succeeded and whatever data you sent was appended to the upload session. (I don't actually see where you're setting the data in your code though. It looks like you're just sending an empty string via 'CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS', so you'll need to update that to send the chunk of the file.)
Thanks for your reply, my problem is in Chunks, i dont know how to do it in the correct way, i've been looking in forums and docs, to make it works, but i am stuck in this process.
IF someone can help me, would be grateful

Are you referring to how you read off just a piece, i.e., a "chunk", of the file to upload at a time?
That would depend on your platform/programming language and isn't really about the Dropbox API itself, so I'm afraid I can't offer much guidance on that. I recommend referring to the documentation for platform/programming language. (For instance, for PHP, it looks like stream_get_contents might be useful.) Otherwise, a more general programming forum or something specific to PHP, may be helpful
