How do I allow others to upload files directly to my Dropbox account?
I want to allow a third party to upload a file once a month.
Does this person need to be a member?
Can I give a link to the folder? Is that all I'd need to do?
Would the 3rd party be able to see everything in this folder?
Should I make a folder just for this person to upload to it 1x per month?
Automate it how exactly DawgMob ?
I guess it's not needed after all as your file requests will remain open for as long as you want. Others will be able to upload to your account through the same link (file request).
If, by any chance, you'd like to change your file request once it's created, follow these steps:
- Sign in to dropbox.com.
- Click Files.
- Click File requests.
- Click the … (ellipsis) icon.
- Click Edit.
- You can edit both What are you requesting? and Where should these files go in your Dropbox?
- Click Save.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Aparently you could upload folders (I didn't check it)
Hi Llazarte,
Do you happen to have a screenshot or link to the process to upload a folder? Whenever I access a file request and try to select a folder to upload, it just won't upload - it's not considered a valid upload file type, from what I can tell.

Clicking the file request link with give you the following options.
You can upload multiple files, from your Dropbox folders, the system allows you to select all the files with one click :8ball: you can also choose files from your computer. Even folders! :grin:
Here is all you need to know, being a receiver of a file request.
Cheers!
Hi, I think this post is misleading. I've tested uploading from both my computer & my Dropbox account and it does not allow you to upload folders - it only allows you to select individual or multiple files within folders. If I'm mistaken, can you please provide detailed instructions/screenshots showing how entire folders can be uploaded using file request? Many thanks, Ricky
