[Feature Request]: Enable file requests via CIPP Standard #4481
Description
Please confirm:
- I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
- **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.
Problem Statement
OneDrive for Business and SharePoint offer a feature called "File Requests". This feature allows a user to create a share link that only allows uploads. These uploads are hidden from other people using the link. This creates a secure and private way for people to upload files to a folder.
This feature is not enabled by default on new tenants. The process to enable it requires use of Powershell. There is a related setting to set a maximum number of days for the link to remain active. That setting is also only configurable via Powershell.
Ideally, I would love to see a Standard that would enable or disable this feature. That same standard would also allow the option to specify how many days the link should stay active before expiring.
Benefits for MSPs
This is a useful feature for an MSPs clients and would add value to the SharePoint/OneDrive services that the MSPs is selling or managing for their client. By making this an option on a CIPP Standard Template, it will be faster and easier for the MSP to enable.
Value or Importance
This is medium value. It's not critical, but it does help MSPs compete with other solutions like Citrix ShareFile (which offers similar functionality)
