Create a file request

Build a collection checklist and issue a private upload path to a recipient.

01

Define the request

A Request collects files from someone who may not have a FileMentra account. Enter a clear title and message, optionally bind the request to a recipient email, select link expiry, and choose the Drive location that will receive accepted files.

  • Recipient email enables identity binding and optional password protection.
  • Link expiry controls how long the upload route can be opened.
  • Submission deadline communicates and enforces the collection deadline; it cannot extend beyond link expiry.
  • Accepted files still pass quarantine processing.

Build the requested-items checklist

Each requested item describes one expected deliverable. Give it a distinct name, recipient instructions, accepted type, maximum size, and required/optional state. Use multiple items when each deliverable must be tracked independently.

  1. 1

    Name the first deliverable.

  2. 2

    Add concise instructions.

  3. 3

    Choose accepted file type and maximum size.

  4. 4

    Mark it required only when completion depends on it.

  5. 5

    Add, reorder conceptually, or remove additional items before creating the link.
