Plus will allow you to do this, but, not with Links. Dropbox links are designed as read-only / download links. You need to send somebody a Shared folder which will allow them to edit. The only key thing to note with this is that if the folder is, for example, 5gb in size the person you send it to also needs 5gb of free space in their own account.
Hello,
thank you for your answer.
Some more information:
- Basically i should send an email invitation to that person, instead than a Link. can you confirm ?
- What if i need to invite persons that do not use dropbox, or which do not have enough space on their account ? Is there a way to get rid of this limitation ?
thank you again,
Paolo

Hi
You dont just send an email, you have to share the folder via the website (which will then email them).
There is no way to remove the limitation unless you buy and pay for a licence for them.
The work around is to use links (as you have) and have them upload back to you via Requests.
