How do I adjust settings such that one can only add files to a folder without viewing its contents?

I chanced upon a company being able to use dropbox to allow people to upload their documents without actually viewing its contents awhile ago and tried doing so for my own, but I can't seem to find the right settings for it, please help!

    Hi 0d3a2r4yl, welcome to our Community! 

     

    It sounds like what you need here, is a File Request.

     

    This feature enables you to request files from multiple users and have those files accumulate in one singular folder in your Dropbox account. 

     

    Anyone you invite to a file request folder will be able to contribute files, but only you, the requester, can view all of the contributed files. 

     

    I hope this helps!
