The Dropbox file request alternative for Google Drive
Dropbox file requests are great – if your files live in Dropbox. EventUpload does the same for Google Drive: people upload via a link, the files land in your Drive.

When Dropbox file requests don’t fit
With a Dropbox file request, uploaded files are stored in your Dropbox. If you and your team work in Google Drive, you have to move them afterwards.
The free Dropbox Basic plan includes 2 GB of storage – a few videos or photo sets and it is full. A free Google account includes 15 GB.
