Shared Dropbox

I want to use a Dropbox to gather photos from the participants who attended an event. 

I set up the Dropbox account, and created a Dropbox to allow anyone who has the link to be able to edit the Dropbox.

I copied the link.

I logged out of my account.

I opened a browser and pasted the link in the address window.

The link took me to the Dropbox.

However, it required a sign-in that required an email address.

Is there a way a way to allow the person to upload photos without requiring the person to enter an email address?

    I don't want the participates to be subjected to emails from Dropbox.

    Is there a way the participants can upload photos without needed to set up an account? 

    I suspect there is not a way to do that. 


    Did you look at the Requests option I gave you? That does exactly what you are looking for

      I set up the request and the folder shows that I am the only one who has access to the folder.  

      I paid for this dropbox and I can't get it to work. 

      I don't want to waste anymore time on this.

      How do I cancel the dropbox payment so I am not charged any more.
