File request

[artonge]

This is a modal dialog that helps a user create a file drop link & send it to people. A specific dialog makes it easier to find and use, and more visible to users. But the end result is 'just' a file drop link.

Similar to https://help.dropbox.com/share/create-file-request Sub task: Enter name when you upload some files, sort in folder

Use case:

• university teacher requests homework from the students. The student has to enter their name. Their uploads are stored in subfolders by their name. Expiration date = deadline for homework turn in time!

Flow:

• Somewhere (maybe in the + menu) choose 'request a file'
• Give a title (will be the name of the file-drop link)
• Description (optional) (put in note to recipient)
• choose a location (folder) the files should go into
• choose if the files should go into a subfolder based on name of uploader (optional)
• choose deadline (optional but might be set by default) (goes into expiration date) - should have a warning that once the expiration date is hit, the request disappears and a new one has to be created.
• choose password (optional but might be enforced)
• choose recipients (optional) - should be possible to be users/groups/email addresses (from address book?)
• click 'create' & get a link.
• would be good to go to the folder and how the file drop in the side bar, so the user also 'learns' where the link now is, where they can modify it etc.
• we should add a 'file requests' to the share sidebar, showing all file drop links
