Hyper-link to "upload files" screen

I need a customized hyper-link for my clients to manually enter or click on to go directly to the "upload files" screen.  I want to "mask" the hyper-link to say my business name and not the string of numbers I get when generating the hyper-link inside of Drop Box.

    Hello BillSittig, Dropbox currently does not have the feature you are looking for. However, you may look into various URL shorter services e.g., https://bitly.com which allows you to shorten/customise your random looking URL to something like https://bit.ly/xx-business for free (you need to sign up for bitly, and provided the link is not already taken). If you pay, you can even get your own domain yourdomain.com/nice-url.
