Why not just use Box’s File Request?
Box includes a File Request feature that lets others submit files into a folder. It works for simple needs, but it’s limited compared to EZ File Drop.
When to use what: Box File Request is fine for quick, one-off uploads. For SMBs and creative teams needing branded Box upload forms, structured intake, and automated Box client upload workflows, EZ File Drop is the stronger choice.
