Uploading photos to dropbox via a QR code. Is this possible?

I am at a conference. We want attendees to send their smartphone photos to our Conference drop box.

We want to generate a QR code for the dropbox and put it up on the conference screen for them to scan - we figure scanning is more failsafe than giving them a long http address they have to type in.

But we are stuck - I can't find a simple way they can send the images to the drop box via the scanned code.

Anyone? 

Cheers - Linda

    You could use a File Request. Create a file request and copy the URL, then use a QR code generator to create a QR code for the URL (Dropbox doesn't do this part). Anyone that scans the QR code will be directed to your file request.
