Enabling and Sharing your Public URL

Edit online

A public URL allows external senders to submit packages to registered users and dropboxes. When a public URL is enabled and shared to an external sender, the external sender can take the following actions to send a package.

  1. The external sender clicks the shared Public URL.
  2. The sender is directed to a page and asked to enter an email address.
  3. A private link is automatically emailed to the sender.
  4. The sender clicks the private link and is automatically redirected to a package submission page.
  5. Once the package is submitted through the private link, the user can download the package by going to Received.
