Collect files from anyone with one link
You make a link. They upload. They do not create an account, and they do not see each other’s files.
What a request link is
It is the reverse of a send. You publish one link. A client, a classmate, or a guest opens it and uploads to you. The form they see is on the receive page. This page explains when to use it.
Who it is for
An agency collecting a logo pack. A photographer asking a client for picks. A teacher collecting assignments. A host collecting photos after an event. Each person uploads into the same request without joining a drive.
Compared with Drive and Dropbox
Dropbox and Google Drive file requests are useful when the files should land in a folder you already share with a team. They also pull people into those accounts. Here the uploader needs no account. What they do better is long-term folders, comments, and permissions. Use them for that. Use a request link when you only need the files.
What you can set
The request lasts up to 7 days on the free plan. Each upload follows the same size cap as a normal free transfer, 6 GB. A password is optional on a normal send. Uploaders do not see a list of everyone else’s files.
Questions
Do people uploading to my request link need an account?
No. They open the link in their browser and drop the files without registering.
Can one uploader see files uploaded by someone else?
No. Each uploader only sees the submission form.
Where do I create a file request link?
Open the receive page while signed in, enter a title and instructions, and copy your request URL.
