The File Request experience in Box is getting an addition: the ability to build a structured content-intake form. This allows you to request files and collect metadata directly in Box from anyone, even those without a Box account.
The upcoming enhancement allows you to:
- Build a structured intake form with one or more drag and drop areas
- Solicit additional information with metadata form fields, which can be set as required/optional
- Enable extra security and tracking with link settings

Important note on default settings
Box plans to make this available in U-M Box beginning on May 7. By default, users who have editor permissions or above on folders will be able to create File Requests.
