Default Google Drive / Dropbox - Other online storage for what I need?
I've used Dropbox for a while and it's quite good. Google Drive has just been released and it's must sleeker but I don't think it's all that practical, especially for what I need.

For my job, I have to get a lot of files from a group of many people (outside of where I work). Email has limits and getting lots of emails is messy so online storage would be better. Google Drive lets me create a folder and make it public but public members can only view what's on there and not add anything, though anyone can view it without having to sign in / make an account (which is good). I then tried inviting a colleague to see if she could add files, but she can't ONLY I can actually add files which makes it almost useless unless I just want to show people files that I own.

Dropbox will let others drop files into a folder but they HAVE to sign up for Dropbox - which is something I feel a lot of people probably won't bother to do. Though once, and if they do, sign up they're all able to put files in the shared folder so I can easily access them. I guess this would be a good way to increase my overall Dropbox space but I'd like somewhere that these people can drop me files and I can then take them and store them on my computer. Is there such a thing?
I guess FTP or such things would be good but as I feel people may not want to even create an account, they certainly won't want to faff around with FTP.

Any ideas?
