Door mounted intray

I think I need some kind of light weight vertical intray that can stick onto the outside of my bedroom/office door so my flatmate (brother) can leave things in it for me when I'm away and the door is closed. I would empty it when I get home into the intray in my bedroom. We're in a small apartment so there's not a lot of space for a regular horizontal tray in the common area.

Does anyone use anything like this or otherwise able to recommend a product? I've tried a few different serach terms and don't seem to be getting what I'm looking for.
 
This sort of wall file is a standard office item. Because our department mailroom is locked after hours, a staff member made something functionally similar for my office door from file folders and tape one semester. This kept students from shoving assignments under my office door, which led to problems.

What about something like these? They do not need screws. I used the search terms “over the door hanging file holder, organizer”

I use a similar thing meant to be a shoe bag with pockets wide enough to hold two shoes, so the pockets are wider than on a standard shoe bag.

Thanks Sarah, yes that's a great alternative to screwing something into the door.

A bit much for my specific purpose as I only want a single intray in the outside of my door. However I may think of a way to make use of this on the inside of my door for extra storage that's easily accessible.
