Allow the Recipient to Upload Files For You (File-Drop)
This is a Feature of the Enterprise Version.
In case you dont want to send someone else a file, but rather have them provide files for you, you can use the FileDrop feature. This will create a share, where the recipient can upload files to. This can also be End-To-End Encrypted!
- Open a new email, best already enter a subject
- Select "Create Upload-Link"
Adjust the share settings:
The Share Name corresponds to the folder that will be created on the Server. It is automatically generated by the subject of the e-mail
- Click Done.
Note that the folder will automatically be added to your "Watched Folders" and you will get a notification if a new file is uploaded there!
