can't find "File Requests API"

Hi Adica, unfortunately no, I'm not aware of any plans to introduce a programmatic interface for submitting files to a file request. 

This is really too bad. I can't find any service anywhere that allows for anonymous file sending. In our case, we need to (programmatically) allow our customer service agents to create a file request link that our client code (on an iPad) can then use to programmatically send several hundred megabytes in hundreds of files to us (for diagnostic purposes). It needs to be done in a way that's inaccessible to others (but accessible to us), or really even the user that sent the files in the first place.

One-time links that have an expiry would mostly address the accessibility issue, as they'd be hard to discover, and the uploaded files would be deleted after a few days or weeks.

We also have a simliar need for regularly uploading log files, but these are much smaller.

It seems no one offers this (not S3, not DropBox, despite the most obvious drop box functionality this is, not Box).

I want to join the call to add this functionality to Dropbox API!

I have the same request to be able to programmatically upload files to a File Request. My use case: I've written a GUI that receives radio beacons from a satellite in orbit and decodes the telemetry into human readable things (onboard voltages, currents, temperatures, etc), displays it, and is supposed to automatically forward the binary to the satellite team (me). HAM radio operators around the world use this GUI and I want the data they receive so I can fold it into our automatic processing. Right now, they have to manually drop their binary files into the File Request, which is an annoyance and a barrier, so I don't get all the data. 

So, still can't do what many on this thread want.

Adding +1.  Very much need the ability to anonymously submit files to the File Request programatically by whatever means. Be it a REST thing or a .Net API thing.

I've begun trying to reverse engineer the request response stream from the upload page so we could emulate it, but we shouldn't have to do that.

This would be incredibly useful for collecting support data from client locations with a single string. (File Request URL) being the only setting and no credentials required.

Thanks for the feedback Rick D.3!

No worries. 

Of course if you need a beta tester.... I'm just sayin'. 8^) 

Adding another +1 to this. 

I see it is available in Tray.io but not in Zapier. This makes dropbox a show stopper for me, and I will be forced to use another service for requesting file uploads from clients. Please add this! I see these requests date back +5 years, with MANY users requesting. 

What is going on behind the scenes that this cannot be added, Dropbox team?
