Proton Drive File Requests (like Dropbox, paid Box, or pCloud)
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!!!!

While I would prefer a more feature rich set of permissions (see suggestion: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/46670965-manage-user-rights-on-shared-files-or-folders) this would be a really solid stop-gap solution to a very glaring issue!

Without this feature I'm unable to switch to Proton Drive.

It's also essential for me to get this. I use Tresorit for that and if Proton offers this, i would switch. It costs me 60 € monthly but is absolutely essential to get private documents from clients in my job (lawyer).

I prefer to get files from even family members securely, because idk... it's just an anxiety thing. Regardless, it would be really nice to have this feature.

Even if it was just adding the ability to upload via a shared link to a folder would be nice. We often get larger files sent to us and our current solution requires us to download the file and then upload to Proton.

My business sometimes requests documents from customers that can be considered sensitive. Having the ability to send them a link to securely upload would make them feel more comfortable.

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 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 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.
