Hi,

I would like to create and share a link where people can upload photos from an event. I want the upload link to upload photos from a phone or computer. However, I do not want users to be able to access the photos (just upload). Is there a way that I can do this?

    Hi Rachel, 

    Welcome to Box Community! 

    To obtain files from your colleagues you may setup and enable file request link. This link would only allow your colleagues to upload files and won't have access to the folder itself. 

    To create a basic File Request form:

    1. In your Box account, navigate to the folder that you want to contain the uploaded files.
    2. Do one of the following:
      • In the Sharing pane on the right, under File Request, click Create Link.

       

      • Click the ellipsis (…) to display the More Options menu, and then click File Request.

     

    1. The File Request window opens, displaying a link you will send to people to request their content.  If the link is not already enabled, click to move the Link is Enabled slider to the right.

     

    1. Click Edit. The Submit Files window opens, displaying a default title and upload zone.  This is where you begin building your Web form.
    2. At the top of the form, enter your title.
      • Make the title clear and unique, to help the people submitting content quickly understand what you’re asking them to provide.
      • The default title is "Submit Files,” which you can keep if you like
    3. Optionally, add a sentence or two describing the content you are soliciting, and perhaps any instructions you wish to provide.

     

    For details you may head on to this link. 

    Hope it helps! Let me know if you have questions.
