Uploading a file from my computer directly to a Client's DropBox account

Uploading a file from my computer directly to a Client's DropBox account

I received a DropBox link from my client who wanted me to upload certain files I have on my computer to his DropBox folder.  If I hit the link, I can see his DropBox file and the different folders where I need to upload the file.  But no option allows me to "Upload files from a Computer" .  Do I need to have a DropBox account?  Please help

It sounds like a normal shared link, which is one-way read-only, meaning you can't upload any information there. 

 

You'll need to ask them to create a file request using the steps I provided previously.

Hi @FdoIsidro1, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Was this a shared link to view a folder?

 

Could you check with them if they could create a file request for you to upload files?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Thanks for your reply.  I believe this was a shared link as it was sent to others so that they can individually upload their documents.  I'm able to go into the link and I can see there more than 30 folders, each with a name.  But when I open the folder with my name on it, there is no way to upload files from my computer.
