  Wget/curl the page you give, curl login to dropbox, curl upload the page and the credentials from the login.

    How does Dropbox let you run these commands?

      The user has to log in with Dropbox. The web app can then use Dropbox API (https://www.dropbox.com/developers https://www.dropbox.com/developers). (Edit: capitalization)

      The Dropbox API lets them put files in your dropbox. Urldroplet will go fetch the webpage you give it, save it to some files, and then use the Dropbox API to put those files in your dropbox.
