    Automate it how exactly DawgMob ? 

    I guess it's not needed after all as your file requests will remain open for as long as you want. Others will be able to upload to your account through the same link (file request).

    If, by any chance, you'd like to change your file request once it's created, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
    2. Click Files.
    3. Click File requests.
    4. Click the  (ellipsis) icon.
    5. Click Edit.
    6. You can edit both What are you requesting? and Where should these files go in your Dropbox?
    7. Click Save.

    Let me know if you have any more questions!
