In this guide, we'll learn how to share a link with clients for uploading their files to a designated folder using Dropbox. This process involves creating a specific folder for each client, such as "Nancy," and using the "Request Files" feature to specify document requirements and deadlines. We'll also cover how to send the link via email or copy it for direct sharing, ensuring clients can easily upload their documents.

Let's get started

Today, we'll guide you on how to share a link with clients for uploading files to their folder. First, if you're using Dropbox online, go to dropbox.com. In the finance folder, I've created a folder called "Lending Docs from Client."
