Our teachers are requesting "dropbox" functionality (not the company) and I don't know if there is a way to provide it via Office 365 sites.

Essentially they want each student to have upload permissions only to a centralized folder  - can't delete and cannot see the other students homework (i.e. uploads) - while it is possible to create a subfolder with unique non-inherited permissions for each student (6 periods times 30 students = 180 folders per teacher) that is very tedious for the creator (me) and the teacher digging through all those sub-folders.

I found an old 2011 post on the subject here but it appears to be for a different version as none of what is discussed appears in my configuration.

Is there any clean way to do this?

Hi,
