Dropbox Requests


Dropbox Requests allows your contacts to directly upload files to a designated folder in your Dropbox account easily and quickly.


Why is Dropbox Request better than attaching files or sending via email? 

  • You cannot receive big files: Email and softwares that support "File Upload" functions usually have a file size limit of 10MB to 25MB
  • Takes some work to organise stuff: Most people assume that file uploads are hassle-free, in fact, it takes time for you to download these files from the email or file repositories in your computer, view and organise them


Why we recommend Dropbox Requests

  • You will receive an instant email notification as soon as new files are added to your Dropbox
  • Files as big as 2 GB can be uploaded (as long as you’ve enough free space in your Dropbox)
  • You no longer needs to manage files via file attachments 
  • Your contacts do not need a Dropbox account to upload files

Examples of what contacts can upload

  • Images and photographs (.png, .jpg)
  • Documents and Records (.pdf, .docx, .xls)
  • Presentations (.pptx)


One of our favourite use cases: Request your contacts to send any photos or videos that they may have taken at your event.

6. As your contacts uploads their files, you will see the list of files in the folder


7. You will also receive an email notification every time someone uploads a file into the folder
