A Branded Upload Form for Every Workflow
The fastest way for a client to send you a file is a link they can click. Files.com Inboxes give you a branded upload page in about a minute — pick the destination folder, set the form fields you need, share the URL by email or paste it on your website. Clients upload directly into your Files.com folder; you get notified when they're done.
- Drag-and-drop upload forms — no client account, no software install, no friction
- Branded with your logo, colors, and domain (files.yourcompany.com/upload/...)
- Custom form fields — order number, project ID, sender email, anything the workflow needs
- File-type restrictions (PDF only, images only), file-size caps, expiration dates
- Email + Slack + webhook notifications when an upload completes
- Per-folder access log — who uploaded what, when, from which IP, with which form data
Embed the form on your own website. Drop a <script> tag and a <div> into your page — Files.com renders the upload widget inline. Clients upload from your site; files land in your Files.com folder.
I set up all our users and set up inboxes where our customers can send us files, and everything just works. Email notifications are also a big thing for us — we need to know when we have a new file sent to us, and those just work as well.

What Changes When the Upload Form Just Works
The one-time file upload links, one-time file download links, and the management UI make my work easier and more efficient — they make it easier to gather and share sensitive documents in a secure way.

Common Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out — every support request lands with an engineer.
Yes. Each Inbox supports custom form fields — required or optional, text or dropdown — that the client fills in before uploading. The form data is attached to every file in the audit log, so you can map “Acme Inc · Project 4421 · uploaded 2025-04-12” to the underlying file without manual cross-reference.
