How can I get users to upload files to me without seeing the other uploads?

How do I keep uploaders from looking at other uploader's content in a folder? I need to send one upload link in a single email but I don't want people looking at each other's work. It's a competition. Thanks!

    Hi ChristineUsesDB, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    In this case, the best option would be the file request feature, with which you provide a link to other people in order for them to upload files to. 

     

    They can't see any other files in the folder that was chosen for the upload.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
