Files guide
Having documents sent to you by people without Kamzan
You need this when documents have to come in from someone with no access to Kamzan: a client, a supplier, a candidate.
To have documents sent in from outside:
- Right-click on the folder where they should end up.
- Hover over «Access and sharing» and choose «Share externally».
- In the «Sharing» window, stay on the «Public link» tab and open «Advanced options».
- Turn on «Document request mode».
- Press «Generate link», then «Copy link», and send it to whoever has to upload.
Whoever opens that link does not see the archive: they see only the upload area. They cannot browse, cannot download, cannot see what the others have sent.
Every time someone uploads, you get a notice.
Why a normal link is not enough
A normal link lets people download. This one lets people upload, and shows nothing: they are opposite things, which is why they are two different switches.
Putting a check at the door
In the same «Advanced options» you can turn on «Email required» — or «Email + OTP», which also asks for a confirmation code. It is there so you know who sent what, which in a collection is almost always the point.
If the person is a colleague instead
Then you don’t need a link: there is «Request files», which has its own page and is handier — it keeps count of who has done it and who is missing.
