I am tryingt o share a DropBOx file on my website, but I want users to submit their email address before acessing the file. Can I do this via dropbox instrad of my website? Do I need a 3rd party app?

    Dropbox doesn't offer this exact functionality, but if you're a programmer you could build this into your own site. For instance, you could prompt the user for their email address on your site, and only them return the shared link. You can also list and create shared links via the Dropbox API programmatically.
