Allow uploaders to add comments or descriptions with File Requests
Summary
I'd love to see an option for people uploading files via a Dropbox File Request to include a short comment or description with their upload.
Why this matters
This would be incredibly helpful for providing context — especially when receiving files from multiple people (like resumes, signed forms, or project files). Right now, there’s no way for the uploader to explain what the file is about, and that can lead to confusion or extra follow-up.
How it could work
During the file upload process, there could be an optional text field where the sender can briefly explain the file's purpose, content, or any special notes.
Benefits
- Easier file organization
- Less follow-up needed to clarify uploads
- Improved collaboration, especially for teams or clients submitting documents
I think it would make File Requests even more powerful and user-friendly.
