File Drop Box: Enable anybody to upload files to you

DriveHQ's File Drop Box feature works like a mail drop box in a post office, allowing anybody to quickly and easily upload files to you securely. Once a Drop Box folder is created, simply share/publish the folder's Drop Box URL. Anybody can visit the URL and upload files into the folder without the hassle of creating an account.

The Drop Box Folder feature is designed for you to receive files from anybody, incl. potential clients, unknown users, one-time users, or too many users that you cannot enter all their email addresses.

File Drop Box Details

Please watch the File Drop Box Folder Feature Tutorial video:

  • Anybody Can Upload Files into a File Drop Box Folder

    The primary function of a file drop box is to allow non-DriveHQ members to upload files to your private cloud folders without having to log on.

  • Embed File Drop Box Folder; Receive Files from Your Own Web Page

    Embed a File Drop Box Folder in your own website so that you can receive files from your users directly from your web pages.

  • Secure Upload Only

    Users cannot see files that were uploaded to the File Drop Box by others. You (as the File Drop Box owner) have full access to the folder; you can also create a password for a File Drop Box folder. This way, users must have the password to access the file drop box. Spammers cannot spam you unless they have the correct password.

  • Unlimited File Drop Box Folders

    There is no limit to the number of folders you can turn into File Drop Boxes in your account.

  • Synchronized File Drop Box Folder

    Create a synchronization task in DriveHQ FileManager to sync your File Drop Box folder. You can access files uploaded to the cloud-based File Drop Box folder from the synchronized local folder.

  • File Upload Notifications

    You can assign email addresses to be notified when files are uploaded to a File Drop Box folder.

  • Upload / Receive Files with Email File Drop Box

    In addition to receiving files via the File Drop Box URL, you can also receive files via the File Drop Box's email address.

  • File Drop Box Demos and Screenshots

    First, create a folder and check the checkbox "This is a File Drop Box folder". If you have already created a File Drop Box Folder, you can simply log on to DriveHQ.com website, then from the DriveHQ Start Menu, click "File Drop Box", you will see a list of File Drop Box folders in your account.
