Request files
A collect link is not a view FWDLink. You formally request files; guests drop them without seeing your album.
What it is
Request files creates a dedicated collect link on an album you own. Guests open it in the browser, enter their name, and drop files. They do not see the rest of the album. View FWDLinks never accept uploads.
Why it helps
You get the set without mixing “send” and “receive.” The request is intentional, logged, and easy to close.
How to use it
- 1
Open an album you own and choose Request files.
- 2
Confirm you are requesting, pick how long the link should last, then create it.
- 3
Send the collect URL — not the album view link.
- 4
Close the request when you have what you need.
