Hello,

thank you for your answer.
Some more information:

- Basically i should send an email invitation to that person, instead than a Link. can you confirm ?

- What if i need to invite persons that do not use dropbox, or which do not have enough space on their account ? Is there a way to get rid of this limitation ?

thank you again,

Paolo

Hi

 

You dont just send an email, you have to share the folder via the website (which will then email them).

 

There is no way to remove the limitation unless you buy and pay for a licence for them. 

 

The work around is to use links (as you have) and have them upload back to you via Requests.
