Hello
Newbie here!
Question: is there a way to set up a folder in my dropbox account that will act as a blind drop? I want to give people an address (or link) to a place where they can upload files but can only see their own uploads (or even better can't see anything in the folder). Is this even possible?
Dropbox requests sounds exactly like what you are after!

Thank you Mark
I did see that, but I don't think that method is what my client is looking for as it involved a direct request via email. Rather, they are after (I guess) the dropbox version of a blind FTP server. Where they can share the address on (for example) a website and anyone can upload files. Or, we can collect files through a web form and send them to a folder behind the scenes (or similar)... or does file request work like that too?
Read through that article and tried it out and YES! can see how that would work - thank you!
