You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

can't find "File Requests API"
not yet?

I see, thanks for clarifying! File requests would make that relatively easy, but with the current API you could build an upload page on your own server, and then just allow the end users to upload there, and perform the API calls to upload to Dropbox on the backend, without exposing other files or information to them.
Has anyone other than Tom found a solution or workaround for this? Please share.
Sadly, no.
Our scenario
We have a workflow where a client can quote, approve, purchase. If the purchase goes through and the user has input true to 'have dropbox account ? ' - we offer DropBox space by using these endpoints:
/files/create_folder
/sharing/share_folder
/sharing/add_folder_memberIt would be so good to remove check for whether user has DB account ( and stop file uploads to our own server ).
Like Johan S. said, it would be 'awesome' ...
Greg - I do not have a solution but interested in learning more about your workflow. What is a good email to reach you at?
King E: there is no pm here and I would rather not expose an email. If you are happy to add an email to your post I will reach out.
I too would love this feature to integrate with our system. We frequently need to request artwork from our clients for a specific job number. Generating a URL from a Job number would be perfect.
Greg - drop me a line at info@kingproductionsco.com
+1 this feature would be great... is it in the API yet?

Hi Fred, unfortunately no, this isn't in the API.
