@Mike-Davis Not sure if you saw my post. According to their website, NextCloud does offer an anonymous file upload option.
How is NextCloud better than dropbox?
With dropbox, we don't know where the data is, or who has access to it. With NextCloud, it resides on your own server.
That being said, here, I'd agree more with @JaredBusch -- for this type of scenario, unless there are major privacy concerns, just use DropBox.

Wouldn't dropbox require him to create and share separate directories for each client?
I would do the same in NextCloud.

Exactly. Each client gets their own upload folder.

Thanks for the help. It looks like the website guy is using Wix and it has a plug in for dropbox, so it made it dead simple to implement.

A few options that I have had success with are:
www.rmail.com - Good for sending encrypted emails to people. Allows the recipient to reply back securely.
https://neocertified.com/encrypted-contact-form - Allows users to visit your website and use a secure contact form. They can attach files in the form as well.

He didn't say it was secure... He said the Wix web was able to easily integrate it with Dropbox.

@dafyre in my defense the topic title has the word secure and Dropbox was mentioned in the first post
Touchee, lol.

I'm surprised that you consider Dropbox to be secure.
Dropbox is as secure as your password. Same as anything else.

Some of you have a point. I probably should have said "more secure than sending them across the internet unencrypted." Dropbox is using SSL and AES and has a security team monitoring everything. If there is a breach, they have a lot to lose as a company. If I stood up my own server, I wouldn't have those kinds or resources, so I think it is more secure than something I could put together myself. As @JaredBusch said, DropBox is about as secure as your password.

Dropbox seems logical. Simple, not expensive, and doesn't require the customer to run an entire server just for this one little thing that probably doesn't happen that often.
