I’m looking for some guidance on the best way to set up a streamlined upload flow for multiple clients.
Goal
I’d like to have a single upload point (for example, one shared link or form) that allows multiple clients to upload files without logging in. Ideally, when they upload:
- They provide their email address or name
- Dropbox automatically routes those files into a folder structure like:
Client Name (or email) → Submission date → Uploaded files
So, over time I’d end up with something like
- /Client A/email@clienta.com/2025-11-14/…files
- /Client B/email@clientb.com/2025-11-20/…files
- etc.
Questions
- Is there a native Dropbox feature (e.g. File Requests or similar) that can:
- accept uploads from multiple people via one URL,
- and also capture who uploaded what in a way that could be used to organise files per client?
If not fully possible natively, what’s the best-practice approach people have used?
- Multiple File Requests?
- Dropbox + a form tool (Typeform, Jotform, etc.) + Zapier/Make to create folders and move files based on email address?
- Any recommended automations / templates that already do this?
I’m comfortable using third-party automation tools if needed, but I’d love to understand what’s realistically achievable within Dropbox first, and what the most robust setup would be.
