You seem to be a bit confused about Zope. No crime in that :-)
I don't know what you mean. You don't need to make copies of anything
in order to let users add files. What is addFile?

I assume you mean Manager?

Go to the management interface of the topmost folder where you want users 
to add files. Click on the Security tab. Find the permission
labelled "Add Documents, Images, and Files". Check the box in the
Anonymous columns. You're done.
