Answer 1

1. Use %26 instead & in oauth_signature parameter. There is two values in one parameter concated by & symbol.

2. Pass file via TMemoryStream.

   procedure TDropbox.Upload(const AFileName: String);
   const
     API_URL = 'https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/sandbox/';
   var
     URL: String;
     Stream: TMemoryStream;
     ShortFileName: String;
     https: TIdHTTP;
     SslIoHandler: TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket;
   begin
     if not FileExists(AFileName) then
     begin
       raise EInOutError.CreateFmt('File %s not found', [AFileName]);
     end;
   
     ShortFileName := ExtractFileName(AFileName);
     URL := API_URL+ShortFileName
       + '?oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_consumer_key=' + FAppKey
       + '&oauth_token=' + FOAuth.AccessToken
       + '&oauth_signature=' + FAppSecret + '%26' + FOAuth.AccessTokenSecret;
   
     https := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
     Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
     try
       SslIoHandler := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket.Create(https);
       SslIoHandler.SSLOptions.Method := sslvTLSv1;
       SslIoHandler.SSLOptions.Mode := sslmUnassigned;
   
       https.IOHandler := SslIoHandler;
       Stream.LoadFromFile(AFileName);
   
       https.Post(URL, Stream);
     finally
       FreeAndNil(Stream);
       FreeAndNil(https);
     end;
   end;
