What a portal is
A portal is a request link tied to a folder you choose in your workspace. Anyone with the link can upload into it; nobody with the link can see anything else. One link can serve a whole production or a single client, and the sender’s name and email are attached to what arrives.
Each upload is isolated in its own dated inbox folder on an upload-only token scoped to exactly that folder and direction, expiring in minutes. Used against any other path, the transfer server refuses it. Both the workspace owner and the person uploading get an email when the upload completes.
Uploads that finish
Every portal upload gets a checksum recorded for every file on arrival. Clients can upload files or whole folders straight from the browser with nothing to install, over the standard HTTPS path; an interrupted browser upload starts again from the beginning. For very large sends the page offers the free Boita desktop app, which uses the fast path at their full line rate and resumes where it stopped after a drop. Every arriving file can be reviewed and approved or rejected from the web or the phone; rejected uploads go to the trash, not into your folders.
Set up in a minute
Pick the folder that should receive material, create a portal link for it, and send it. Add a form if you need details with the files: required fields and dropdowns such as a job number or sample id, allowed file types, naming rules and a size cap, so the first upload is the right one. Give the request a deadline and invite named uploaders; they get a reminder 48 hours before and a nudge after. When their upload lands you get an email, the files carry checksums, and the inbox folder tells you who sent what and when.

Which plan
Upload portals are included from the Pro plan. Your logo and colours on the upload page, portals on your own domain with the certificate issued for you, and portals embedded in your own site are on Scale and above. A download watch folder in the desktop app or the Linux agent makes anything a client uploads appear on your NAS or server within a minute, sub-folders intact.
