I'm in search of a reliable method that allows others to securely upload files to me via a persistent link. I want to include this link in my email signature. I've found many services that offer temporary links or ones that let me share files with others, but I'm specifically looking for a solution that enables people to upload files to me at any time without limitations. If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

If you're using Office 365, you can create a folder in OneDrive set to request files. The bonus is that people can upload files into it without seeing what's already in there. Plus, you'll get a notification when new files are added!
You might want to check out OneDrive's file request feature. Here's a [link](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-file-request-f54aa7f8-2589-4421-b351-d415fc3b83af) for more details. Box also offers a similar service for collecting files from anyone—it's worth looking into!
Have you thought about using Google Docs? It should meet your needs for file sharing and uploads, and it's quite user-friendly!
I recommend you check out a free and open-source software called Copyparty. You can self-host it, and it’s super customizable. I’ve set it up exactly how you’re describing, allowing people to upload files directly to me. Happy to share more on how I did it if you're interested!
Also, have a look at LiquidFiles. We use it for file drops, and it works really well for what you're looking for.
That sounds awesome! I’d love to know how you set it up!
