Client upload directly to folder (with privacy?)

Question

Hi! Ideally, I would like to send clients a link to upload their documents to a specific folder in Box, but I do not want the clients to have access to this folder or to the company's Box. I just want them to be able to upload the file to avoid being the middle-man. If this is possible, can the clients upload personal information and trust that the process is encrypted (i.e. uploading a passport)? Thank you!

Hi Natalie,Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!Certainly! This is possible using the " Box File request" feature. Box File Request gives you a fast and secure way to request and obtain files, plus associated metadata, from anyone. Using an easy, drag-and-drop graphic interface, you create a Web form that enables you to:Securely request files from people without adding collaborators on a folderGather additional information with metadata attribute fields, which you can set as required/optionalEnable extra security and email validation with link settingsKick off automated workflows using Box RelayThe following article explains how to use File Request and how to quickly build a Web form you can use to collect documents even from those who do not have a Box account:https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045304813-Using-File-Request-to-get-Content-from-Anyonehttps://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045304913-How-Content-Submitters-View-and-Use-File-RequestFeel free to write back in if you have other questions, and I will do my best to assist you!Regards,
