Hi! I'm new to Dropbox. I need to send files to a client via dropbox. Is the client able to download the files to their device without a dropbox account? 

 

Thank you,

renefoto

If you send them a Shared Link to the files, yes, they'll be able to download without creating an account (though they may be prompted to create an optional account). If you were to send them an invitation to a Shared Folder, then they would need an account.
