Hey jaewonpark! Thanks for posting on our forum today. 

What you can try is our file request feature; file requests allow your users to add files directly to the folder of your choice on your Dropbox account and they won’t be able to edit those files or delete them after that. They basically upload files directly to your Dropbox account rather than sharing them from their own.

Please also take a look at the Help Center article I’ve linked above and let me know if you have any further questions.

I’ll be here, if you need something else.
