Hi soundoriginals,
Unfortunately, public accessible (allowed for third party usage) Dropbox API doesn't support handling of file request in such a way (upload and see what's there). You may automate file requests management though, but this is not the same.
Easy workaround (even without using any API) is share a file request and view only link to the same folder in batch. So users will be able see what's there if that's what you want.
It's possible to be implemented custom interface that lets your users to upload in a way different that default one, but not based on file requests. You need UI implementation server side (may be mixed implementation too - server and client side) that ensure appropriate upload directly to your account. In such a way you have more freedom to implement it as you would like.
Good luck.
