    What buttons? How, exactly, are you trying to do this? If you just need someone to upload a file to you and they don't need to be able to access it after they upload it, just send them a File Request.

    Of course I'm trying to do this on my iPhone and after going down several Rabbit holes I realize this feature of "Invite" is only available on my desk top.  Thank you Dropbox for being so informative that it takes me an hour to figure this out.  Cheers
