Bring back File Request option in File Explorer.

agilion, there is no need to create multiple file requests for a single client. I have clients for years at a time and only ever create one file request for them. That is where from then forward they will always upload any files they want to upload to me. I tell them it's their encrypted "portal". So that should make things a little easier for you! :D

The request file function from Windows app is really missed. The workaround is "sorta OK" but would really appreciate the direct link. 

I think Dropbox is trying to discourage people from creating many file requests. We used to create multiple a day when we needed something from the specific client.

Charge us more for file requests, as long as we can easily create those.

Majorly seconded, this is a huge feature I don't know why it was ever removed. It's almost enough to make me quit Dropbox after over a decade with you.

Right??

There is a third option... sometimes. When you select to View on Dropbox.com, there is a link called Request Files. Some days that option is there. Some days it's not. I've not managed to explain the pattern to myself. 

Even the Web UI has changed, rendering any Dropbox tutorials to create new file requests inaccurate.

Request Files, definitely not available from Mac Finder right click, or in the side bar menu on web

As previous member mentioned, you can right click, view on dropbox.com, to get to the folder, but even the menu navigation has changed recently

There is no request files in the left sidebar, and when you click the 3 dots, no request files there either.

REQUEST FILES is now hidden under the menu item "Activity"

So 2 options to request files:

1)Go to this URL:

dropbox.com/requests

OR

2) use your finder to select folder and view on dropbox.com 

Next to your folder name, Select the Cog Wheel > Activity > Request Files

which takes you to the above URL linked to the folder you've selected

Yikes, why so clunky dropbox?

Still nothing DropBox?  I haven't seen one update from the "Team"...but I've seen a lot of comments about how this reduces productivity.  

When do the people get to be heard???

Oh crimony sakes! Could they have hidden it more completely?? 🤪

Thanks at least for pointing it out, JW San Diego !

I should add that the day after I posted this solution, it was gone from the website. :(

Orion C - your method still works, sort of.  After you right-click to "view of dropbox.com", you are brought to the folder online.  Just to the right of the actual BOLD folder name is a gear/settings icon.  If you click that icon, then at the bottom of the dropdown "Activity", you will see "Request files".  That then brings up the normal request files menu you used to have directly from Windows.  They will probably take this away too, but for now ...

Unfortunately not. In fact, after I posted the one work around, I noticed the next day that that was also removed. 😣
