Requestfolder with view links on uploadede files

We are looking for a feature which could be described as follows.

1) Create a Dropbox file request

2) Agents A,B,C upload a file as guest users without account

3) Agent X with a Dropbox account creates a "read-only" link from the submitted files and hands them over to several processing lines.

 

Is this feasible?

    This can be done by combining three existing features. If we assume that the file request was created on a separate account, namely Agent Q, they can also share that same folder directly to Agent X, so it will be added to their Dropbox account.

     

    This way, when Agents A, B and C upload files via the file request, it is already in a shared folder, and Agent X would get those files. They can then easily create shared links to those files and then send those links on via email to the processing lines.

     

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