Inviting an Outside Contributor to Send to Dropbox

If you someone to upload files to Faspex without a user account, you can invite them to send their packages to a dropbox as an outside submitter. Outside submitters can submit files to the dropbox using a submission link, but they cannot view files in the dropbox.

1. Go to Workgroups and select your dropbox.
2. Select Invite Outside Submitter.
3. Enter the external email address of the invited submitter.
4. Write a description that is included in the email invitation.
5. Select Custom invitation link expiration policy submission link expiration options:
   1. To set time-based link expiration, select Invitation link expires and set the number of days Faspex keeps the link available.
   2. To set download-based link expiration, select After one successful upload. The link expires after an outside submitters uploads one package.
   Warning: When outside submitters are invited to access a dropbox, they are not prevented from sharing the upload link with others. Faspex records the IP address used to submit packages, but Faspex cannot verify that the person using the link is the intended contributor. If this is a concern to your organization, you can identify one of two security options when sending an invitation to an outside submitter: the submission link expires after one successful upload completion or the submission link expires on a specific date. In the case of expiration after the completion of a successful upload, it is possible for an outside submitter to initiate parallel uploads using a single link to submit multiple packages.
6. Click Save to send an invitation email to the email address with the submission link.
