If you are not a registered user, for example, you are a photographer doing a photo shoot for a company, you can still easily upload the photos into the company's Asset Library. In this way the assets reach the right users and the users can immediately start working with the new assets.

Sometimes you work with external parties such as photographers or agencies that do not have an account but still need to upload material to your portal. Here is where the External Uploader comes in.
This tool allows external users to drop their files for approval. The files are uploaded to the portal's Waiting Room for audit. The recipient gets an email notification that the files have been uploaded with a direct link to download the files. Read more about the customizations that can be set up below.
Restrict usage of the External Uploader
What usage do you want to restrict?
I want to limit who can receive files
When users upload assets with the External Uploader, they can enter an email address of the recipient. If you want to limit this to certain recipients only you can make use of a pre-selected list with email addresses. Only those users can then receive files shared by the External Uploader.
Provide your Customer Success Manager with a list of approved recipients, so that they can help you setting this up.
