Dropbox has no such feature. Using File Requests as is, the folder will be created with whatever name you've given it when you created the request, and the files uploaded will be prefixed with the uploaders name.

If you're comfortable with programming, you can use the Dropbox API to automatically generate a new file request for each person, in which case you'd be able to specify the title and destination for each uploader.

    Now we are in a right direction by using dropbox API, well I agree with the second option.However, I am using PHP as my backend and unfortunetly, I don't see any official SDK for it so any clues where do I start to solve this issue ?
