You can either just copy the link or you can enter email addresses of those you want to receive the link and let Dropbox contact them. Pick the once you want.Ĭlick “Next” to get the link. If you already have a Dropbox folder location in mind, say, in an assignment subfolder that resides in your course folder that resides in your academic year folder, you can click “change folder”, and Dropbox will show you all of your folders. When y ou write something in the required “What are you requesting” field, like “Assignment 1”, Dropbox will create a new subfolder called “Assignment 1” that will reside inside of the “File requests” folder. Dropbox will create a new folder aptly-named “File requests” in your root Dropbox folder. The pop-up window asks where you want the files to go. Click the big blue button “Create file request”. To access this feature, log into your account via your web browser. How cool is that?

It allowed others to upload files to your Dropbox account. Once upon a time, there was a third party service for Dropbox called DropItToMe.
