Hello, @Revscott...   As you're aware, @Jane has posted a potential answer to your question.  However, I'll post this in case you're curious how the file request feature would work for your recipients.   If you'd like to test-drive how the File Request works, please feel free to click on this File Request Feature Test link.   Please don't upload large files... just create a .txt file, enter some verbiage within it... then save it to your hard drive (or... download my text document to upload).   You can read through this forum post for more information about the File Request feature (screenshot examples included).   PLEASE NOTE:  Any abuse via uploading will result with my File Request test link getting Lost in Space    Also, once I logout of Dropbox for the day, I may temporarily deactivate the file request test link.  I don't want to find 10,000 files in my account when I login tomorrow (I'll reactivate if needed).

Hello, @mdpriss...   I recommend that you read this Help Center article regarding shared links (then choose which way you're accessing Dropbox for instructions).  Using that method prevents your recipients from editing or accidentally deleting your files.  In addition, your recipients don't need to have a Dropbox account with ample storage space within it.  Be aware that it would be a requirement if you chose to share a collaborative folder vs a shared link.   I realize that it's hard to know for sure how sharing a link to folders/files will appear to your participants (especially when testing folders/files in your account vs another person's).   For that reason, I make it possible for you to test-drive how sharing a link is viewed by YOUR recipients... please feel free to explore my example folder below.   PLEASE NOTE:  If you want to have the same experience as a non-Dropbox user then you should sign out of your Dropbox account or use a different browser. > SHARING A DROPBOX SUB FOLDER LINK EXAMPLE:   The image below shows you the hierarchy of my example for sharing a LINK to a sub folder that only allows the recipient to view the ExampleSubFolder's contents.   Sharing a LINK to a Folder/File in my sub folder example does not give you access to the parent folder (zz.Example2) or its other sub folder (ExampleSubFolder2).   Depending upon how your folders/files are arranged within your Dropbox account:   You may have to create a new parent or sub folder. Then copy/move your files to that folder in order to control what your recipients can view or download. HELP CENTER ARTICLES: How do I create a Shared Link (view-only access)?
