    You can use a File Request to allow people to upload files to you. Pass the link from the File Request through any QR code generator service.

    if a guest doesn't have a dropbox account, will this still work or will they be required to create one/download app in order to upload photos?

     

    thanks!!!

      File Requests don't require a Dropbox account for the person uploading. They'll just need to enter their name and email address.

        THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have set up the file request and generated the QR code (ADOBE - free) and it's working perfectly in my document to send the photos to the designated dropbox folder. So thrilled!

         

        Is there a setting that will allow guests to see the photos others have uploaded when they upload theirs? If so, would I need to regenerate the QR code to enable it? 

         

        Thanks again for your help!
