How To Receive Large Files

If you regularly receive large files from clients then you’ll need a way to collect and organize them that is both professional and easy to use. File transfer programs are quick but leave you with hours of work downloading and organizing files. Cloud storage software is strong on organization, but clients often have to have accounts and you can’t white label the client experience. File Request Pro does it all.

Quick, easy way to collect large files

File Request Pro is a part-automation tool, part-file uploader, and part-form builder.

Clients just need to drag and drop large files or folders, as well as fill in any extra form fields that you add. Your experience is automated as much as possible, to save you hours of low-value work. You can automate file organization as well as reminder emails. You can also clone upload pages so you can make minor tweaks for individual clients without starting from scratch.

You also get bank-level encryption as standard.

Branded upload pages for professional large file collection

You can white-label your file request forms so they match your company branding. This makes for a more coherent user experience for your clients. You’re also not asking them to trust a file transfer company they might not know or to sign up for an account that they don’t want (like Google Drive).

Branded upload pages can be embedded on your website or act as standalone pages. You can use a custom URL or your own subdomain.

Collect extra client information as well as large files

With File Request Pro, you can use form fields to ask for extra information as well as for large files. This is useful if you want basic information such as name, email and company, as well as more complicated options using dropdowns, checkboxes, dates, hidden fields, and so on.

You can keep content requests to one page or add page breaks to create multi-page forms.

You can also use conditional form logic to personalize file requests and get relevant information from each client.

Client information will be sent as a text file to your cloud storage software account, alongside large client files.

Dynamically organize large files in your cloud storage software

Collecting large files can be relatively straightforward using file transfer programs. However, file organization is then really time-consuming. You don’t want to be manually downloading and organizing files, particularly if you are receiving many large files a day.

With File Request Pro, you can dynamically organize client content and files in your cloud storage software using a range of criteria. Choose to dynamically organize client files and content by name, email, company type, or even by a hidden value like a specified customer number. The value you choose it up to you.

Automate a reminder email sequence to save you time

Save time going back and forth with customers about missing content by automating reminder and thank you emails. You can customize the copy, although we can autofill key information like the files requested. The file reminder sequence is ‘smart’ and adapts to the actions of your clients.
