Setting up MFT dropbox links

To securely receive large files from non-registered users, users can create a link to their MFT Dropbox™. This lets non-MFT users securely send mail directly into a user’s My Dropbox folder.

https://companyname.thruinc.net/Desktop/Dropbox/Create/?toemail=name@companyname.com

To create a link, substitute the “companyname” text with your company’s name and the email text, and“name@companyname.com” with user’s email address.

For example, “companyname” with demo and email address with name@abctechnology.com.

[https://demo.thruinc.net/Desktop/Dropbox/Create/?toemail=name@abctechnology.com]

note

If your company has a unique MFT site URL that does not end in .thruinc.net, then fill in your MFT site URL in place of https://companyname.thruinc.net at the beginning of the MFT Dropbox link.

For example,

https://filetransfer.companyname.com/Desktop/Dropbox/Create/?toemail=name@companyname.com*

  • After creating link, you can send it to anyone via email, company websites, and portals.

  • When user clicks on the Dropbox link, they are redirected to file upload form where they can send files to users.
