I don't use PHP anymore, but when using curl in bash scripts, I have to use a '@' as prefix for the filepath to let curl know that filedata is a filename and not the content of the file.

Have you tried (for example) filedata=@dropzone.css or "filedata"=>"@" . $_FILES... ?

I've tried these two as your suggestion but fail:
$data = http_build_query(array('filedata' => "@"."dropzone.css", ...));

$data = array('filedata' => "@"."dropzone.css", ...);

Got this error:
An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request

Yes. i have look at it. His $_FILES is same as me but his approach seems totally different. He include "Alfresco/Service/xxx" library which I didn't. I successfully login and create new folder without "Alfresco/Service/xxx". I'm trying to do this:
File upload | Alfresco Documentation
Which didn't suggest me to use "Alfresco/Service/xxx"

I don't know whats happening when all replies gone missing (Can I even delete replied message?). Anyway, I found the solution after being lead by your URL suggestion. I thank you for all your help Martin Ehe

Here the final code:

$cfile = curl_file_create(
   $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
   $_FILES["file"]["type"],
   $_FILES["file"]["name"]
 );
 
 $data = array(
   "filedata" => $cfile,
   "destination" => "workspace://SpacesStore/$myNodeRef",
   "uploadDirectory" => "subfolder",
   "description" => "",
   "contenttype" => "cm:content",
   "overwrite" => "true",
   "thumbnails" => "doclib"
 );
 
 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$myAlfrescoUrl/alfresco/service/api/upload?alf_ticket=$myTicket");
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: multipart/form-data"));
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
 $result = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
 curl_close($ch);
 
 if($result["nodeRef"]) {
   echo "\n\nUpload success. NodeRef: ".$result["nodeRef"];
 }
 else {
   echo "\n\nUpload error: ".$result["message"];
 }
