How can I get users to upload files to a specific Dropbox folder?
I want users to be able to upload files to a specific Dropbox folder from my website.
Problem: I’m unsure about the best way to set up this integration and ensure it’s secure.

Hi myavatarworld11,
To do that, you need some sort of API integration (with or without using helper SDK). In general there are 2 ways to do so:
- using generated upload link that desired file gets uploaded through (pre-generated in API);
- using API upload calls (there are different options).
Both ways have their pros and cons depending exact use case. Use what best matches your targets after get familiar with both.

I assume you will use your own account, not user accounts. To make sure everything is secure, perform all API calls (doesn't matter what way you select to upload) server side, NOT client side! If you select to use upload link, generate it server side and use client side only the link itself. If you select API upload calls, use your site as something like proxy. API calls require authentication, so if you perform client side calls, your credentials will be exposed - violating your own and your clients security. Just avoid exposing any credentials. That's it.
Hope this gives direction.
