Clickable link that allows users to upload files?
I work with subcontractors(roofers, window installers, etc) that submit their pictures of completed work into shared Dropbox folders with the office. I want to add a clickable link on our PDF labor bills. Is there a generic link that crews could like that would automatically open their app on their phone? I don't want to have to use their dedicated shared folder link.

Hi jmabus, thanks for messaging the Community!
While there isn't a generic link you can use to open a shared folder in the mobile app, you could create a file request link.
This doesn't require them to have a Dropbox account, and they can upload files directly via their browser into your Dropbox account.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

I am not trying to get them directed to a shared account. I just want to have a Hyperlink built into a PDF, that when someone clicks it, it immediately opens the app.

Hey jmabus, so if I understand correctly, you just need a link that will simply open the Dropbox app and nothing more, right?
To be honest, there's no way to create a link through Dropbox that would do this.
Perhaps there's some kind of 3rd party app that might be able to do it, but it wouldn't be something we can support.
