easily upload files to you securely. Users can visit the Drop Box URL and
upload files into the folder without the hassle of creating an account.
It is designed for you to receive files from anybody,
incl. potential clients, unknown users, one-time users, or too many users that you cannot enter all their email addresses.
With the Email Drop Box feature, anybody can upload files into a drop box folder via email attachments!
Receive files via email. Auto save/organize attachment files in a cloud file server
