How to Configure and Send File Requests in Dropbox

Dropbox has a feature where you can email people a file request and allow them to upload files directly into your Dropbox folder without needing to share the folder or for the other people to even have a Dropbox account. If they do have a Dropbox account, they can send files right from their own Dropbox account into yours. If they don't have an account, they can upload files and folders directly from their computer.

Any suggestion please on how to upload multiple files (images) from an android phone? It seems like android doesn't by default allow to select multiple files to upload via the dropbox file request.

The one thing that seems to never be mentioned or covered is that a Dropbox file request link can only be generated from Dropbox when a user is accessing the Dropbox
site from a laptop or desktop. I wanted to send someone a Dropbox file request link through my Android mobile phone and the link fails to load in the Google Chrome browser
on my Android device. If you copy a file request link that was generated from Dropbox's site when accessed from a laptop, the file request link will not load on an Android mobile
phone. You will get a 404 error message, on the Dropbox site, when trying to do so. Dropbox apparently does not permit file request links to be shared and accessed from mobile
phone devices. This is the conclusion I have come to after trying this and reading posts in the Dropbox forum. What has been your experience with this?
