- Product
- Adobe Send and Track
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to request or receive files from clients or colleagues using Adobe's tracking service.
- Observed behavior
- The service allows sending files as links and tracking views, but lacks a feature to create upload invitations for receiving files.
Determine whether you only need to track sent documents or if two-way file sharing and receiving are required for your workflow.
Use a Dedicated File-Request Service
Since Adobe Send and Track cannot receive files, you must use a cloud storage service that supports file requests.
Adobe Send and Track is designed exclusively for outbound file sharing. It allows you to send files as links, track who opens them, and receive viewing confirmations. However, it does not have a 'file request' or 'upload invitation' feature.
To receive files from others securely, you will need to use alternative cloud storage platforms that offer dedicated file-request links.
Select a platform like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox that natively supports file requests.
Navigate to the file request section in your chosen platform and create a new request folder.
Copy the generated upload link and send it to your recipient so they can securely upload files directly to your folder.
