New Feature Request Files
Good Day We were trying to test the file request feature https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-a-file-request-f54aa7f8-2589-4421-b351-d415fc3b83af?storagetype=stage&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad...

Can you share a screenshot of your sharing settings configuration in SPO and ODFB?
jcgonzalezmartin Thank you below are the screenshots. We do not allow external access or anonymous access in our tenants. Thanks
- That is why it does not work, you must have anyone links (External sharing) enabled in order to use the feature. It was mostly designed for requesting files from external parties. I believe they are working on more restrictive ways to use the feature in the future, but currently it is required to by Anyone links to use it.
- Thank you so much, sadly this wont be an option for us. We were hoping this would be an option for internal users only as we do have several use cases where internal users could take advantage of this feature. Thanks again
- If they are internal users then you have a few options. You can utilize SharePoint lists and turn on list item permisisons where users only see their own entry's and owners see all and link them to it.
You could also utilize the new Forms feature where you can have them upload attachments to a form submission and grab them there. This works for internal users only currently so should be fine in your use case. You could even tie a Flow to them to move the attachments to a destination folder and mark a column with who submitted etc.
You could also build a flow to move files over immediately apon upload to a library into a secure location and tag the name of the uploader to them.
Anyway, just a few alliterative idea's that would satisfy the need since we've had these options for awhile now and use them internally fine, external has always been the issue and the new Files upload in OneDrive solves this gap.
