Can I receive files through a file request but not see the names of the submitters?

Hi,

when using File Request with external users, I have to make sure that each uploaded file remains anonymous to me.

I'll use File Request to collect 360° feedbacks about managers, and the participants need to be sure I won't be able to retrieve the identity of the senders.

Is it possible ?

Thanks,

Didier

    Hi @ddegreef 

    People when using file requets are asked to input a name (and email, although you cannot access that email info). So, if you tell them to put in something such as "manager 1" you wont know who it is.
