You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Problems when collaborating using shared folders, with non-Dropbox members.
We have been using Dropbox within our organization for quite some time and are very satisfied with it. However, we currently have a problem. We are a project management organization and frequently collaborate with external parties (will be more than 100). These parties often need to use our data, and while they sometimes have their own Dropbox account, often they do not. We have been inviting them to access certain Dropbox project folders by sharing them. However, these folders are limited to just 2 GB. This is completely unworkable for us as we often need to share large drawings, other CAD applications, and various project files. Forcing other parties to also become Dropbox members is not an option because they refuse often. How can we solve this issue, otherwise, we may unfortunately have to look for another storage system.

There is no way to do this.
If you want them to have collaboration access they need an account (otherwise how do you control who is accessing what?)
