How to add, accumulate and share files with friends on Dropbox?

To The Community:
New to the functionality of DropBox.
Having just returned from a foreign trip with eight, total travelers each with unique cell phone photos, we would like a central repository to share (upload) and distribute (download) each other's photos.
Is there a simple way to create and share this repository for photo uploads and downloads?
Thank you, David H., the "RealGrumps"

    Create a File Request, then create a Shared Link to the same folder. Anyone with the File Request link will be able to upload to the folder, and anyone with the Shared Link will be able to view/download the files in it.

     

    Alternatively, if everyone has a Dropbox account you can create a shared folder and invite everyone to it, giving them edit access.
