Upload Interface
Hi there. We're a major national wedding photography studio. We currently use File Requests for photographers to upload their RAW images. This process is slow for some users, and doesn't provide a gr...
That’s a great idea! You can definitely enhance the file upload experience for your photographers using Dropbox’s API. Here’s what you could do:
Custom Upload Interface:
You can build a custom interface using the Dropbox API. With the API, you can create a user-friendly, branded UI that shows users their successfully uploaded files in real time.
File Status & Metadata:
Using the API, you can add functionality to display upload status and success messages. Additionally, you can create custom fields or forms that photographers must fill out before starting the upload process, ensuring you gather all necessary data.
File Requests API:
While the native File Requests feature is limited, you can use the Dropbox API to build your own version with more flexibility and control.
Work with a Developer:
I recommend connecting with a Dropbox API developer or someone familiar with integrating file upload systems. They can help build the UI you envision and add any custom features, like metadata fields.
Dropbox’s forums are a good place to start if you need help finding a developer,
Best of luck with your project!
I'd love to hire a developer. Any ideas?

Dropbox itself doesn't have listings or recommendations of developers to hire (though there may be some in the forum here who can chime in). There also may be third party marketplaces online where you can search for developers to hire, but we can't recommend any in particular. I certainly see how that could be helpful though, so I'll send this along to the team as a request to offer some sort of recommendation/listing like that. I can't promise if or when this would be implemented though.
