    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to directly send the file request to recipients via Dropbox, the way that the Dropbox web site does. I'll send this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if/when this would be added.

    You'll need to get the file request URL from the API, and then send it from your app via whatever means your app has (e.g., email, etc.).
