      If you intend to create folders automatically on your Dropbox account via the site, then you'd need to use the Dropbox API in an app of your own to make these changes. 

       

      If you're referring to a local script on your computer, which  then create a folder in the Dropbox folder (which will then sync to the site), then you need to use whatever code you use to create scripts on your machine.
