Receive file uploads into your own Dropbox account.

No, and they don't need an EZ File Drop account either. Anyone with your form link can open it and upload without signing in to anything. The Dropbox connection is yours alone, and the people uploading never touch it.

In the exact Dropbox folder you chose when you set up the form. Every submission to that form is delivered to that same folder, and different forms can point at different folders. If a form collects something like a client name or a project number, EZ File Drop can create a subfolder for each one automatically, so files arrive sorted instead of stacking up in one place. See Set up dynamic file organization.

Yes. The connection works with any Dropbox account, including free personal accounts, and you can point a form at your own Dropbox or at a shared team folder your whole team can already see. For anything a team relies on, the shared folder is usually the better setup, since it doesn't route client work through one person's personal folder. See Connect Dropbox.

Yes, on every plan. You can connect as many Dropbox accounts as you want to a single EZ File Drop login and point each form at whichever one it belongs to. Useful if you keep client work in one account and internal work in another. See Connect multiple cloud accounts.

Every form has a submission viewer in your EZ File Drop dashboard, on every plan. You can browse all the submissions to a form, read the form responses attached to each one, and search by person or file name without digging through the Dropbox folder. See View and manage submissions.

Yes. Your files are delivered into your Dropbox and live there, so they use your Dropbox storage the same way any file you added yourself would. That's the point of working this way: the files are yours, in an account you control, and they stay there whatever happens to your EZ File Drop subscription.

Yes. EZ File Drop connects through Dropbox's own sign-in using OAuth2, so we never see or store your Dropbox password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Dropbox account settings. Files move over TLS-encrypted connections the whole way.

Dropbox's permission screen asks you to allow EZ File Drop to edit the content of your files and folders, which reads broader than what actually happens. The permission has to cover that range because you can point a form at any folder you own. What EZ File Drop does with it is write the files people send through your forms and create subfolders when a form organizes them. It also reads basic account information, like your username and email, to set up the connection. It doesn't read or browse the files you already keep in Dropbox. See Connect Dropbox and the security page.

EZ File Drop retries automatically, several times with a growing gap between attempts, which clears most failures without you doing anything. Two situations retries can't fix are a disconnected account that needs reauthorizing and a destination folder that's been moved, renamed, or deleted. Failed files stay in staging so you can retry the delivery from your dashboard. See Fix upload errors.

Every plan, including Starter, connects all six cloud destinations, Dropbox included. The features built on top of it are split by plan: dynamic file organization, your own colors, fonts, and logo, and white-labeled forms are on Business and Premium. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

Dropbox File Request is a feature built into Dropbox. EZ File Drop is a separate product that connects to your Dropbox account, so it takes the place of a File Request rather than adding anything to one. Files end up in your Dropbox either way.

What changes is the form. A Dropbox File Request page carries Dropbox's branding, collects the uploader's name and email address and nothing else, and drops everything into a single folder. A form you build in EZ File Drop carries your branding, collects whatever fields you add, sorts files into subfolders based on the answers, can be embedded on your own website, notifies anyone who needs to know, and keeps a searchable record of every submission.
