How to make a Dropbox file private but use it so people can upload content?

Is there a way to be able to have users upload files to a Dropbox folder without them being able to see what others have uploaded to said file, or would a single, private file have to be used for each individual?

    Hi csalavarria, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Yes, you should be able to achieve that by using a File Request. That way, you can request content from people, they should be able to upload content in the folder, all that without seeing any of the folder's content.

     

    If you have any questions, let me know!
