I can find lots of tutorials and examples on how to upload a file from sdcard to dropbox account. But how can I upload a file that is not in sdcard and all I have is url? I don't want to download it and then upload it, because file is like 400MB size.
Save Web Files (http://ctrlq.org/save/) can do it. (just visit the website on your android)
Dropbox has implemented this as a native API call: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/06/programmatically-saving-a-url-to-dropbox/
This is currently being re-implemented by DBinbox.com to be more user-friendly :)

I want to upload the images in the background to the dropbox via my apps without install the dropbox app.
I also need the fast upload and security like I'm using dropbox to upload.
DropBox API can be the answer to your question. Check this link and CoreAPI You can use DropboxAPI.UploadRequest to upload your file. Use a service to do that in background.
I found a solution to this at this link : Download file from Dropbox and save it into SDCARD But I dont know what is FileDownload class here. And what is api object?
It is related to the dropbox core api.
Just look at the developer site from dropbox:

I am new to this forum so please forgive me if I am asking something stupid.
I have a mobile responsive website which is to be ported on mobile devices using PhoneGap. The code of mobile site is on github and I want to download the code from github in order to work in offline mode. This would help in keeping just one version of application on play store which will download content from github if there are any changes on website.
So, is there anyway I can download zip file from github using android APIs?
Thanks for reading.

This is very much possible. Please see at the link below.
How to download source in ZIP format from GitHub?
You need to use HttpURLConnection in order to download it to the location you want.

The link for the actual zip file is available on GitHub.
It's possible to download a zip file using the HttpURLConnection. You should cache the zip(on SD card for example), and extract it. The code for downloading the zip is shown in this thread:

Hi I am new to use Google App Engine.My requirement is store Large Zip file in a Blob Store and retrieve to my android application when user click a download option It is possible?Can some one Give Tutorial link to how can effectively use android app engine blob store in android application.
Thank's in advance.
The short answer is: yes you can.
First of all you will have to complete the example on how to upload stuff using Google App Engine and then experimenting with the Google Cloud Storage because it will be much cheaper in the long run.
After completing that you will realise that in order to upload, all you'll have to do is to POST multipart data either from Android or using any other method you would like. In that tutorial is also very obvious on how you could download any file back to your Android application.
You could also experiment with one of my examples for uploading files either on Blobstore or on Cloud Storage. In that particular example you are allowed to upload only images and PDF documents, but it's very easy to modify and accepting only ZIP files or whatever else you might want.
Perhaps Google Cloud Storage would be more appropriate.
