Overview
File Request for Google Drive™ by cloudHQ makes it easy to collect files from anyone and have every upload saved directly into your Google Drive™.

Instead of asking people to email attachments, you can create a secure upload link and share it with clients, customers, teammates, vendors, students, applicants, or anyone else who needs to send you files. Their uploads go straight into the Google Drive™ folder you choose, so everything stays organized in one place.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open Google Drive™
2. Go inside the folder where you want to collect files
3. Click New
4. Choose File Request
5. cloudHQ creates a new subfolder called File Request
6. A secure upload link is generated for that file request
7. Share the link with anyone who needs to upload files
8. Uploaded files are saved into your Google Drive™ automatically

Recipients do not need to send large email attachments. They simply open the upload link and add their files.
