Using Dropbox as a photo library accessed by multiple others
Hi Everyone. Can you help please. I currently manage a photo library on Dropbox through my Essentials level account, and the library is 60GB and growing. For my audience of 50 people who want access to view and download all the images as they are uploaded, will they all have to purchase better than Dropbox Basic level accounts to gain access due the library size? Is there another way as I am not sure each client company will be happy paying out for 25 or so Dropbox Plus accounts (even though I know it is much cheaper than any other solution!). Is Dropbox Teams are possible solution ? Can the client company set up one Dropbox Plus account called say, access@clientcompany.com and all their team use that single email to gain access to the photo library ?
Thanks so much !

No.
Sharing of accounts would be against the T&C's and could cause the accounts to be removed with all data permanently lost.
However, if they just need download and view permissions why not just use a Shared Link?
www.dropbox.com/links - that doesn't take up space on other peoples accounts and in fact doesn't need an account at all 🙂

Hi Mark,
Very many thanks - I think I will encourage the used of Share Links 🙂
Best wishes
