Folders - can you set them up so people can just upload only to them?

HI Amazing Community,

Hope you can help - I am wanting to set up folders so that I can share links with our supporters and they can upload images and videos that they have taken at our charity events.  I was hoping that there was a way to set up the folder to do the following:

*Be in our Drop Box

*Use a link for others to access - via our emails and social media channels

*Allow the supporter to upload only - not be able to download or share etc

*Ideally only see what they are uploading and not be able to look at the uploaded files from others

 

I have looked across the help articles and the community messages and cant seem to find anything on this type of single way uploading.

 

Would love anyones help if you know how to make this happen.

Cheers

Cory 😀

    Hey MagicMomentsCory, thanks for using Dropbox and happy Friday!
     

    It sounds like file requests could be what you're looking for.

     

    Can you have a look here and let me know if that would do the trick for you, Cory?

     

    Thanks!
