Is there a Upload widget that I can embed on my site?
Hello Dropbox and comminity!
I was wondering if there is a dropbox upload widget that I can embed to my site for users to upload files to a specific folder of mine? Sharing is not the only importan...
Not in Dropbox, no, but there are many third-party services that will allow others to upload files to your account. Whether or not they have a widget is something you would need to research.

I've had to sign up for and pay $20 a month to use SendThisFile to use their file box functionality to get email and message field and to host it on my website.

It works very well and reliably, been using the free version for a few years. I just started paying to customise the looks so it fits in better with my website, even with that but it's not very customisable and still look a little dated on a modern website.
Also, they don't let you customise the contents of the email confirmation that the uploader receives, unless you're on their $100 a month enterprise plan :-O
Still, it works reliably which is the important thing.
Would be great if dropbox could create something like this and nail it by adding better customisation features and making it much more modern looking.
Some clients still send me dropbox links to their files, the ones who already have it installed, I've often found the dropbox download links aren't as fast as the send this file ones. So speed is pretty important too,
