    Dropbox Basic, Plus and Professional accounts are intended for a single user, allowing them to sync multiple devices. While it's possible for more than one person to share an individual account, it's a security risk to do so. Anyone with access to the account can take it over for themselves.

Thank you Mark

The upgrading of individual accounts is highly unlikely to happen so I guess the best option for me is to choose the "file request" option where I shall minimize the number of links I plan on sharing with them.

 

Cheers!

File requests actually works really well - *whispers* its one of the upgrades to Dropbox I really do like! 🙂
