Who ranks for “file request”

How to Create a File Request

Dropbox

Log in to Dropbox on the web. Click File requests in the left sidebar. Click New request or Request files. Add a title, description, and pick the destination folder. Set an optional deadline if needed. Copy the link or enter the recipient's email address, then click Done or Share.

OneDrive

Log in to OneDrive. Select or right-click the folder where you want files uploaded. Select Request files. Enter a descriptive name for the request and click Next. Copy the link or type the email addresses of the people you need files from.

Google Drive (via Third-Party Tools)

Native file requests are not built directly into standard Google Drive, but you can use integrations like File Request Pro or cloudHQ's File Request for Gmail to generate direct upload links into your Google Drive folders.
