Dropbox link that organizes by sender?

Hello everyone. I have the free version of DropBox. I was wondering how to set up a shared dropbox link that could make a folder for one an upload happens. I will be giving a link to upload a bunch of photos to multiple people, and need a way to keep it all organized so my drop box doesn't mix in a ton of photos. So if person A send me 20 photos and person B send 30, each sender would have a folder that is created so I can keep it organized.

 

Also, how easy would it be to sync or transfer those folders from Dropbox to Google Drive?

 

  • Hi there Dennisko1 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community! 

     

    From the sounds of it, you might want to use file requests instead of shared links and consider using automations on the folder(s) themselves to achieve what you had in mind.

     

    As for transferring those to Google Drive, you'd need to download them from the website and upload them to Google Drive directly.

     

    I hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.
