Restrict access to files in a common folder

My clients are accessing a fillable form on Dropbox and saving it to a separate folder. Is there a way to restrict those who save a folder so that others, who also save to this folder, can't read one...

    Then no, if its saved to a separate folder they'll all have access to it I'm afraid. 

     

    One way of doing it would be to fill the form in and then send you the file via Requests instead?

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you!
