  Email File Request makes it easy to request and receive files directly in Google Drive™ from within Gmail™.
  
  Instead of chasing attachments across long email threads, you can create a shareable file request link right from the Gmail compose window, choose exactly which Google Drive™ or Shared Drive™ folder should receive the uploads, and insert the link into your email. Recipients simply click the link and upload their files — no Google account required.
  
  Whether you are collecting documents from clients, contracts from partners, homework from students, or media files from teammates, Email File Request keeps everything organized automatically in the right folder. The extension is integrated into Gmail™, so there is no extra software to learn, and you can manage all file requests from a single dashboard.
  
  Key features:
  
  * Create shareable file request links from Gmail™
  * Receive files directly into Google Drive™
  * Choose any Google Drive™ or Shared Drive™ folder
  * Let anyone upload files, even without a Google account
  * Track and manage requests from one dashboard
  * Reduce clutter from scattered email attachment

  WHY USE FILE REQUEST FOR GMAIL?
  Email is one of the easiest ways to ask people for files, but regular attachments can be messy, hard to track, and limited by size. File Request for Gmail gives you a cleaner way to request files in email and collect everything in one place.
  
  If you have used tools like Dropbox File Request, Filemail, WeTransfer, or Jotform File Upload, this gives you a similar file request workflow directly inside Gmail, with Google Drive as the destination.
  
  This is especially useful when you need people outside your company to upload files quickly, without giving them access to your Drive.
  
  PERFECT FOR
  • Sales teams collecting documents from leads and clients
  • Account managers gathering signed forms and onboarding files
  • Recruiters receiving resumes, portfolios, and hiring documents
  • Customer support teams requesting screenshots and attachments
  • Designers and marketers collecting creative assets
  • Schools and educators receiving assignments and forms
  • Small businesses collecting invoices, IDs, receipts, and proofs
  • Anyone looking for an easy Google Drive file request tool inside Gmail
  
  USE CASES
  • Request files from clients by email
  • Collect documents in Google Drive
  • Ask customers to upload files without Gmail attachment limits
  • Send an upload link from Gmail
  • Organize incoming files automatically
  • Replace messy attachment threads with a simple file request workflow
