Re: File Requests

File Requests

Helpful | Level 6

We'd like to create a file request that we use for multiple projects from multiple clients. Each time someone uploads files, we'd like Dropbox to create a folder that's titled with the customers email address, and then add any files they upload to it. As it is now, files show up, but they aren't labled or organized and it's hard to tell which files are from which customer. It wouldn't be practicle for us to create a new file request for each customer, unless there was a way to do that with the API.

We don't currently have any plans for embeddable file requests, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Is there a way with a File Reqest to enable to option to upload a folder, rather than files? Paticualrly if someone is already a Dropbox user and just wanted to send us a folder? As it is now, it looks like the only option is to upload lots of files.

No, unfortunately file requests don't accept entire folder uploads, only files.

Hey Chris, 

 

If you want to be able to collect groups of files from specific clients and receive them in an organized manner. 

Collectizi is what you need.

It's a smart document (or file) collection system allowing you to collect, approve and share your clients files.

You'll automatically get all you need already grouped per client.
