Dropbox business for clients use without opening new account for each client

Hi:

 

We have a dropbox business account. We would like to create folders for each of our clients and have them use their folders (not any body else's)  securely for files exchange with us. We do not want each client to have to open a dropbox account for this purpose. How can we set it up?Dropbox transfer

    If you don't want them to have a Dropbox account of their own, the only way to receive files from someone is with a File Request. They'll be able to upload files to you, but will have no access to the files once they've been uploaded.

     

    If you require them to have edit access to a folder where they can upload files and have access to everything in the folder, then you would invite them to a shared folder but they would need a Dropbox account of their own.
