Using Dropbox Transfer

Dropbox Transfer is a simple way to send files you don’t need to collaborate on. You can create transfers from dropbox.com, the Dropbox desktop app, and the Dropbox mobile app for iOS. When you send a transfer, the recipient will receive a link with your name, the name of your transfer, a list of file names and sizes, and the expiration date of the transfer. A Dropbox account is not required for others to receive or download a transfer.
