Automatically create folders based on the filename from the file I put in

Hi,
Is it possible to create a folderstructure based on the filenames I put into the main folder?
Example: If I have a Main folder and put in a file named ABCXXX into it, I then want it to automatically create a folder inside the Main folder based on the first 3 letters of the filename and put the file into that folder.
Is this possible to do in dropbox?
