How to set up a Dropbox Model File Requests on Google Drive

One of my favorite Dropbox features is File requests. File requests allow you to collect and receive files big or small from anyone, directly into your Dropbox.

File requests are ideal for receiving a large file or collection of files, collecting photos after a special event, and requesting submissions from coworkers and clients. The highlight is anyone can send you a file, whether they have a Dropbox account or not.

Receive Files to your Google Drive

Google Drive doesn’t have a feature like “file request” of DropBox. The closest built-in feature is to transfer the file ownership but this will not add the file to a folder. I think Google should implement this feature to its cloud storage service Google Drive.
