Do people I invite to shared folders have to have an account to upload?

I have sent shared folders to individuals and many comment that they cant upload because Dropbox is wanting they to have an account or set up a new account - is this correct?

    If you're inviting them to a shared folder, yes, they need an account before they can access the folder.

     

    If you just want people to be able to upload directly into your account, use a File Request instead.
