Thanks for replying,
So, I made the landing page and included the dropbox file request in a CTA. This works fine and does its job. However, if the visitor wants to add or modify anything in the uploaded folder, then he wont be able to do that.
Is there a way to show the drobbox folder to that logged in person so he can also manage files from within the website? The idea is to offer a personalised page for that user where he can upload as well as see what he has uploaded and make changes too within that folder.
Thanks

They would need to have edit access to the folder to be able to manage the files uploaded into that folder.
If you share the folder with their email address, then you could just add in a shared link to the folder to redirect them to the folder in Dropbox.
With this method, you wouldn't need to use the file request link as simply directing them to a folder that they have edit rights in will allow them to upload and edit the files in that folder.
Please bear in mind though that anyone who visits that page would be able to view the folder through the shared link, but only with viewing rights.
If this will be a publicly available web page, then it would be better to just the URL for the folder path in Dropbox, so only the person actually shared with the folder can see the content.
Would that be a better setup for what you'd like to do?
