Request Documents to a Specific Folder
The Document Request feature allows you to request files quickly via either the Docsvault's email system or you can copy a link to your clipboard. You can send a document requ
est link to anyone, and they can upload a file from any their computer or mobile device. People you request files from do not need a Docsvault account to upload a file.
For example: This feature can be used for a range of sharing scenarios, whether it's collecting bids from contractors, asking for 'Income Statement' from your client or a teacher collecting homework through a document request link.
