“Could you resend the logo in higher resolution?” “Which order was this for?” If collecting files from clients, applicants or event guests feels like detective work, a file request link fixes the process.
What is a file request?
A file request is a link that lets anyone upload files straight into your account — without creating an account themselves. You decide which folder the files go to and how long the link stays open.
Ask the right questions up front
Most back-and-forth happens because context is missing. With custom questions you can require exactly what you need next to the files:
- a short answer such as full name or order number,
- a paragraph for notes,
- a choice from a list (for example mug, T-shirt, poster),
- a date, such as the desired delivery date.
You can also make the uploader’s e-mail address mandatory, so you always know who to reply to.
Get notified instantly
When files arrive you receive an e-mail with all answers, and — if you like — a browser, Android or Telegram notification. Developers can connect a webhook and trigger their own workflows.
Typical use cases
- Print shops and agencies collecting artwork from customers
- Photographers receiving reference images before a shoot
- HR teams collecting application documents
- Event organisers gathering guests’ photos after a wedding or conference
