About this block

File Request Panel is the collection workspace for gathering files from people who do not have workspace access, headed by File requests and a line noting you can collect files into a folder without granting access. The left column is a New file request form with a request title Input, a destination folder row, a deadline row, an email me on each upload switch, and a Create request action, under a note that uploaders do not need an account. The right column lists three open requests, each showing its folder path, a received progress bar reading how many of the expected files arrived, and a due or overdue badge, closed off by a recently closed request row offering View files.

Open requests are one typed array with received and expected counts driving the progress bar and an optional overdue flag switching the badge to the destructive variant. The form fields carry realistic defaults so the layout reads as a request in progress rather than a blank slate.

When to use

Reach for this block on a file manager or intake page when you need assets from clients, applicants, or teammates outside the workspace, wired to your upload endpoint. Send the reminder as the deadline nears and mark a request closed once every expected file lands.

A natural flow around it on an Application Pro page:

Before

• Folder tree nav
• Upload dropzone card

After

• Notifications

What you can display

One strong use is the client asset intake. Other request shapes:

• Applicant submissions. Portfolios or documents from candidates, grouped by the role they applied to.
• Event media collection. Photos from attendees, with a per uploader count in place of a file total.
• Contract returns. Signed paperwork due back, each request tracking who has and has not returned.

Tip: show the received of expected count on every request, a progress bar without the numbers hides how close a deadline really is.
