Collecting files via email is chaotic. When you ask people to send files as attachments, you end up with scattered files across multiple email threads — files get lost, formats vary, and organizing everything into the right folders takes time.

Email File Request by cloudHQ solves this by letting you create a file request link directly from Gmail’s compose window and insert it into any email. Recipients simply click the link to upload files through a simple drag-and-drop page — no Google account or
sign-up required. All uploaded files go directly into your chosen Google Drive or Shared Drive folder.

Key reasons to use it:

• No context switching — create and send file requests without leaving Gmail
• Files land where you want them — choose any Google Drive or Shared Drive folder as the destination
• Easy for recipients — simple drag-and-drop upload page, no account needed
• Stay organized — all files go to one folder instead of scattered across email threads
• Stay informed — get email notifications when files are uploaded and track who uploaded what
• Set boundaries — add expiration dates, password protection, and file size or type restrictions
• Never chase people — automatic reminders for recipients who haven’t uploaded yet
• Manage everything in one place — a dashboard to view, close, reopen, or delete all your file requests

It’s ideal for anyone who regularly collects documents from others — HR teams gathering onboarding paperwork, accountants requesting tax documents, teachers collecting assignments, or project managers gathering deliverables.
