Can I organize files sent to me through a file request into different folders?

Hello.

Would someone be able to help me with how I need to set my my dropbox? I have a link that I have people that will be sending me files to that one folder I made. Is there a way to separate and/or create new folders based on who sent it? Say I have 2 people that send me 5 files at the same time, is there a way to have a rule that would organize from the sender instead of having all the files mixed together in one folder?

I am using the free version - would that still be possible?

    Each file request will create its own subfolder of uploads inside of the main folder, however, its not possible to set rules etc. up on this.
