Agreed, we need this feature. I had to sign up for a Tresorit Business free trial just to request some files.

There is currently no way for a non-Proton user to INITIATE secure communication with a Proton user. The workaround to onboard a new client/patient is very awkward. One solution would be links to secure webforms, either a generic form simply to send a message, or one or more customizable webforms that can be filled out and submitted securely to the Proton user. The other option would be the "file drop" feature requested here: a link to securely upload a file to a user's Proton Drive. One or the other of these is critical, and would address the largest hole in Proton's suite of services.

This looks like a duplicate of the "Proton Drive File Requests" feature request here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45707290-proton-drive-file-requests-like-dropbox-paid-box.

I voted for both. This is a vital feature for secure communications to avoid files passing through someone else's non-proton email account.

This is important because if the sender has to email the file to my proton account, it passes through their (often less secure) email service. I want to provide people with a link to upload directly to my drive, so that a file can go directly from their device to my secure drive without passing through their email account.

This exists now, though it's a bit more complicated on the mobile app it's still very possible.

This is the one of two features without which I can't fully switch over to exclusively using Proton Drive. Without the ability to have others send files to my drive in some way, either by file requests or shared folders, this Proton Drive is of limited use to me.

This is an essential feature for a system advertised as including file sharing.

nice, was just about to post this but was already here! got 3 votes from me!

Hi,

DropBox has a feature that has come incredibly handy for me in the past: file requests.

When someone needs to send me a large file, I simply send a file request and all they have to do is click on a link and upload the file(s) they want to send me, without having to log in or create an account.

Box.com's paid plans also have this feature.

It would make my life waaay easier if this were available in Proton Drive.

Thanks!!!!

Agree. Currently, to share a file, I have to copy the link, go back to email tab to create a new email and paste the link. It would be good to have a direct share button with pull down of email contacts and maybe a box with quick message options to tick off.

I like being able to use Proton Drive to share files with others via link. Would it be possible to generate a link that I can give to someone so that they can upload a file to my Proton Drive? Basically, a link to allow a non-Proton user to encrypt and share a file with me.

(Amazon handles this by giving my Kindle an email address. Any files sent to the email address become available across my Kindle devices. That might be a different way to go about it, although security would then be contingent on the sender's email client.)

My end goal is to share a document securely with someone (which Proton Drive currently allows me to do) and then receive a marked up document back from them securely (which I don't believe Proton Drive currently allows me to do).

Would like to see this feature, a option named for example "Share with link", to share links to your files or folders, also with options like password protect, link expiration time, link open limit, and access logs visibility.

i've not seen this feature : create link to share file uploaded in proton drive
