Setting up Dropbox for optimal sharing

Dbaker425

Your advice please! I'm not a sophisticated user, and am trying to set up a specific Dropbox directory to do the following:

1. I have an outside CPA firm - not part of my license group - that I want to share this Folder with. I want them to be able to upload docs into this Folder and edit the Folder generally. It is OK with with me if they are given the right to edit the Directory, but mostly simply to upload and download. The docs they would upload are too big to email to me. I have been able to configure it so that they can view and download, but not upload.

2. I have about 10 organizations/people that I want to Share the Folder contents with such that they can view docs and download, but not make changes in any way. None of these are in my work/license group.

How do I set this up correctly? And what settings do I use? Thanks!

Hey @Dbaker425 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

You should be able to achieve this via shared folders, but not that the other participants would need to have enough storage space on their Dropbox accounts to accommodate the share.

Otherwise, you could use file requests to have them upload directly to your account without the need of a Dropbox account.

As for the second ask, you could use shared links instead of a shared folder.

Let me know if this helps!
