You can create a location where anyone can send you files, even if they don’t have a Box account. You can give people a link or put a widget on most websites, blogs, or social networking services that support embedded HTML iframe code.

Files can be as large as 15 GB.

Files are automatically uploaded to the Box folder you have specified.

1. Create a folder to become your repository for your request, or you can use an existing folder.
2. Right-click the folder, then select File Request. A File Request dialog box will open.
3. Under Customize Options, select the options you want to enable. Click Preview to open another browser tab with a preview of the File Request widget.

4. By default, you will not know who uploaded a file. If you want this information, either use Require users to provide email, or use Allow users to add description to create a description field plus Add instructions to put text on screen requesting that they identify themselves.

5. When finished, close the File Request dialog box.

You can either get a link to distribute or get code to embed on a website, blog, or social networking service.

Link: Next to Share this link, click Copy. You can paste this link into an email or wherever you want to use to distribute it.

Widget: Next to Embed this code, click Copy. Paste the code into the website. You cannot modify the widget code.
