Upload files to another user's Dropbox

How do I upload files to another user's Dropbox without using up space on my own account?

    Hey Nachi_81, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that you can upload both folders and files to open file requests. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Ask the other person to send you a File Request.

      And can I upload folders or just individual files?
