Filedrops, File Requests, FTPdrops and Emaildrops give you and your users flexible options for receiving files securely.
A Filedrop is a permanent URL on your LiquidFiles server (e.g. https://liquidfiles.company.com/filedrop/reports) where anyone can upload files that get delivered to a pre-defined recipient.
Ideal for receiving field reports, large print jobs, tender submissions, support files, or job applications. System-wide Filedrops serve the whole organisation; user Filedrops give each staff member their own upload URL — many add it to their email signature.
Filedrops can include custom fields for additional metadata. Read more in the Filedrop documentation.
When you're expecting someone to send you files, send them a File Request. The recipient gets an email with a one-time upload link — no To/From fields to fill in, just attach and send. Simple for the recipient, tracked for you.
For people who frequently send files to your organisation, create an external user account. External users can log in and send files to your domain — but not to outside recipients. User groups let you fine-tune file type restrictions and size limits per group.
Replace legacy FTP batch transfers with LiquidFiles FTPdrops. Files uploaded via FTP, FTPS, SFTP or SCP are scanned, logged and forwarded like any other Filedrop submission — standardising all file transfers through one system.
Emaildrops do the same for regular SMTP email — redirect email-based file submissions through LiquidFiles for scanning, logging and automatic expiration. Saves storage costs and gives you the same audit trail as every other transfer method.
