Dropbox Forms Is the Easiest Way to Let Anyone Send a File to Your Dropbox Account
Yeah, I just tried this out and I don't like the way it works. The upload form you create sends the file to JotForm first, who then copies it into your Dropbox account. So not only are you limited by the 50MB Filesize and 100MB JotForm quota, but you're adding a point of failure to an otherwise robust system. If either service were to change something, or if JotForm fails somehow, it's possible an uploaded file would fail to be copied to Dropbox, which could be a very bad thing if you're waiting for an important file. And if your JotForm submission quota is full, then that file won't even be uploaded to JotForm, much less to Dropbox.

I could of course still always check them whenever I want though.
