How to upload a large file via cURL?

Question

linux

First I tried like this:

curl -X POST -d https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/alpha/upload \
           --header 'Authorization: Bearer token' \
           --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
           --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":".folder."}' \
           --data-binary @'/backup/file.zip' \

In this scenario, the files are loaded, but if the file is <= 100mb, if more, then the memory limit error.
Then they advised me something like this

cat /backup/file.zip | curl -X POST  https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/alpha/upload \
          --header 'Authorization: Bearer token' \
          --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
          --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/path/file.zip"}' \
          --data-binary @-'

That doesn't work. Please tell me how to send large files. Very necessary. I have already reviewed 30 pages of Google ....
