Request Files announcement
StephenRice , I am hoping you have some plans to make more granular permission levels because otherwise this feature is pretty useless. We do not allow sharing our files anonymously with external participants. We need to protect our data.
The protection around receiving files is of course quite different and it would be beneficial to be able to set that we can request files to be uploaded anonymously while at the same time our data can only be shared with named users.
MicrosoftHi JoostKoopmans1,
This is absolutely something we are looking at and it's been one of the most prominent pieces of feedback we received. No timeline to share yet but we're actively exploring this now 🙂 Thanks!

StephenRice I would also like to chime in on here and say not supporting companies that don't allow external sharing is a huge miss. Thanks for working to getting this feature enabled for internal company use only.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll ask you the question I've been asking elsewhere 🙂 If you could enable only the Request Files link (e.g. you can get an anonymous upload only link but not an anonymous view or edit link), would this be something you could take advantage of? Thanks!

- Been 3 years now since the last update on this one. Hoping it'll come to fruition one day. Very annoying that we can lock down sharing links to New or Existing Guests (security and compliance means that at the very least we need to be able to track who has access), but doing this breaks the request files feature.
