Is there a way for non-Dropbox users to upload files without requiring their name or email?
I often need a place for people to upload files, which I can then download.
These people are never Dropbox members – they are external customers of mine.
How can I do this, without requiring them to enter a name and email address?
It's annoying for them, and it's not essential -- and if you use that information for marketing, you're not cool. Nobody likes that.
The only way I know is File Requests, but that requires people to enter a name and email.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure it isnt. Its just sent to you to say 'this is who uploaded what'.
While it can be a pain it is helpful as its used to identify who uploaded what - especially if you have 1 link for multiple people.

Hi there, Jeffrey_Pro_User, thanks for posting your question to our Community!
To be honest, the person's name and email address is required to upload files to a file request and at the moment, there's no other way for non-Dropbox users to upload files to someone else's account.
If I were you, though, I'd take a look at Emma's tips here and I'd create an idea about this, on our dedicated Idea board.

I hope this helps and if you have any questions, let me know!
