Can I share file with specific individuals not in my team?

Question

Excuse me - newbie to DropBox and a recent convert from Google Drive.

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I want to share a file in edit mode with only specific individuals (i.e. email addresses).  I don't want just ANYONE who has the link to have access. These individuals are a supplier company to us who may or may not have their own DropBox account so I do not want to add them to our team. Is this possible ?

Hey @0516, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today!

Just to clarify, if you'd like the recipients of this shared file to be able to edit it, they'll need to have a Dropbox account.

In this case, you can add the file to a folder and just invite these users to the folder.

But if they don't have a Dropbox account, they can only view/download the file.

So, I guess you can send them a 'can view' link, so they can download the file, and then a file request, so they can upload their edits.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
