we are developing a website where teachers and student get access only when they get online. my question is if it is possible how can we create accounts from single login which we have created for teachers to have a dropbox which their students can access in specific can only upload and download but cannot delete or edit file within it.
but hey do not have to get sign in for dropbox our login details shall be used for signing in dropbox.

Are you asking for a way to allow teachers to create folders that students can upload and download files from, but cannot modify files within?

You should be able to develop this functionality through our Core API, using the /files and /files_put options. Alternatively there are many apps that have similar functionality.
