There has to be a way to upload a list of collaborators who can get a link to their own folder to upload their files. For instance, we have 400 families who we want to upload to our system as external collaborators. Each of these collaborators needs a link to their student's own box file to upload registration documents. The only way I am finding to do this is to create 400 individual student folders and then share that folder one by one with an invitation as an uploader. Not what I thought I would have to do and very time consuming.

    Hey Lynn, 

    You might look into doing this using our API - specifically our CLI tool should be pretty easy to set up as use. I have a video on the setup here - and the quick start is here. The CLI is awesome, because you can run a script based on a csv file to create folders and collaborate! 

    Thanks,
