But when i check dropbox.com file are downloading and uploading without problems.
What could be the problem? I'm trying to use the output in order to check if the result were successful or not.!
Thanks

Your curl client appears to be trying to interpret each "\" character as a separate host, when those are supposed to just be characters to continue the command on a new line.
I don't know exactly what shell you're using, but for the sake of simplicity you can take out the "\" characters and new lines, so the entire command is on one unbroken line, to try to get this working in your environment.
