KI 1716 Request and receive files from an external party
Sometimes we need external parties to send us files. Email attachments are not always OK, for security reasons or because the files are too large. OneDrive has a function that is perfect for this! This is how to use it:
Go to start.uib.no and log in using your UiB account.
Go to OneDrive:
Create a new folder to receive the files:
Go to My files/Mine filer, mark the folder in the list, then select Request files/Be om filerfrom the top menu:
In the dialogue box Request files for this folder, write a suitable description of what you are requesting, then click Next:
The dialog box Send file request will then appear. Here you can copy the link from the top field, or send the request via email to the recipient you are requesting files from. You may write a short message to accompany the request. When finished, click Send:
If you selected to send the e-mail request, the recipient should receive an e-mail like this: They can click the Upload files button to access the upload. They will not be able to see other files in the folder etc.
When files are uploaded they will immediately appear in your folder. You will also be notified by e-mail.
