How do I allow others to upload files directly to my Dropbox account?
I want to allow a third party to upload a file once a month. Does this person need to be a member? Can I give a link to the folder? Is that all I'd need to do? Would the 3rd party be able to see everything in this folder? Should I make a folder just for this person to upload to it 1x per month?
