You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Giving others access to upload to a folder
I want to be able to share a link to botanists, that will allow them to create a folder with name, date and place and then upload a dozen or so pictures of a plant to enable identification.
Having read the help files, I don't think this is possible unless the contributors have DropBox account. Is this correct?

Correct. You would need to invite them to a shared folder which would require a Dropbox account.
Alternatively, you can create a File Request which would allow them to upload to your Dropbox without an account, but they wouldn't have the option to create a folder. You would just receive the files as they're uploaded.
