View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
I've looked through every post and question, but can't seem to find a definitive answer. I have a Dropbox account, but need to allow others to download photos to a specific folder in my account. Is File Request the only way I can do this, or can I simply send them a shared link to that folder? Either way, do they need to have a Dropbox account?
Hi @jcm48
File Requests is a way of somebody sending YOU information - thats what you send people when you want them to upload something to you.
Shared links are what you send to people to give THEM information.
You do not need a Dropbox account for either of these, but, may need to tap ESC or the X in top right to close a screen offering them an opportunity to join or log in.
