Is there a way for users to upload photos to my account directly from their devices?
Hi everyone!
I need to integrate a web widget into a website so that users can upload their photos.
Dropbox have such a widget or do I need to look for a third-party solution to integrate with your storage?
- It’s my understanding that you’re asking about how could go about sharing a link from your account online, hence I’ll send you the relevant steps, as outlined here:
- Go to your filestructure on your account on the web & hover your cursor over the file or folder you'd like to share and click Share when it appears.
- If a link hasn't been created, click Create a link. (On the other hand, if a link was already created, click Copy link.)
- The link will be copied to your clipboard (Tip: You’ll also receive a notification on the bottom of your screen confirming that). You can then paste it to an email, message, or wherever people can access it.
Additionally, if you're on a Dropbox Professional or Dropbox Business account, you could also modify your shared link permissions.
Please note that the steps above will grant recipients View-only access (which is best for when you need to share a file with a large audience) & everyone with the link will be able to access your content.I hope my advice is helpful to you & please do let me know if anything is unclear to you or I have misunderstood, as I remain at your entire disposal should you need further assistance. I’m wishing you a creative & fruitful rest of your day! - No, they dont.
It is simply an internet link that when clicked on takes them to a page on Dropbox.com. They may be asked to sign up or log in, but, they can just click on the X in the top right or tap escape to get past that.
