Is this possible with DriveHQ ?

I want a simple FTP site where I can share files with my friends. I want all users to share one home directory, where I have complete control over the folders that appear. I want to give them the ability to read/write to folder A, and read-only from folder B.

If I understand correctly, it's not possible for my users to upload to my FTP without them creating a DriveHQ account first. Is there any way around this? Is this true even if I make a paid account with group licenses?  My friends are lazy and will not visit if they have to register.

Thanks!

Based on your information, the DriveHQ group account service is ideal for you. You can sign up for a free account first, then upgrade to a group account for free. The free group account offers only 1 sub-user licenses. If you have multiple friends, you can order a subscription with enough user licenses. You can then create sub-accounts for your friends so that they can log in directly with your sub-user name and password. You can then create folders in your own account and share with your friends, or use the default group-shared folders named "GroupRead" and "GroupWrite". The GroupRead folder is shared with read-only access, and the GroupWrite is shared with full-access permission.
