A client upload portal that needs no account and no instructions

Boita for client upload portals is a request link with a form and a deadline that lets clients, suppliers, sites and field teams send files of any size into a folder you choose, without an account and without seeing your workspace — a job Boita, the large-file transfer workspace, is built for.

Inbound material is half the job and the half most tools ignore. A Boita portal is a link you send once: the client opens it, types their name, adds files, and the upload lands in its own folder in your workspace at full speed.

A Boita upload portal as a client sees it: “Field footage drop — north basin” from Meridian Labs, a short instruction, and the upload area, with nothing to install.
An upload portal: a client’s page that lands files straight in your folder.

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.

  • Request links into any folder; sender name attached
  • Per-upload inbox folders on single-purpose tokens
  • Browser uploads with nothing to install; the free desktop app for full speed and resume
  • Forms, file rules, size caps, deadlines and reminders
  • Completion email to owner and sender; checksums recorded on arrival
  • Branded portals on your own domain on Scale and above

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.

How can clients send us large files without creating an account?

Give them a Boita portal link. They open it, fill a short form, add files of any size and upload; each upload lands in its own inbox folder in your workspace and both sides get an email. Portals are on Pro and above.

Can I require a job number or sample id with every upload?

Yes. The portal form has required fields, and file rules limit types, counts and sizes; a deadline with reminders and a verified email for the uploader are optional.

Is a portal upload fast for very large files?

Browser uploads use the HTTPS path, and an interrupted one starts again; for very large uploads the page offers the free desktop app, which uses the accelerated engine at the client’s line rate and resumes where it stopped.

Can the uploader see other files in our workspace?

No. Uploads run on an upload-only token scoped to that folder alone.

Can a client see other clients’ uploads?

No. Each upload is isolated in its own inbox folder on a token that can write to that folder only, in one direction, for a few minutes.

Is there a size limit on portal uploads?

No per-file cap; your storage quota is the limit. Storage usage is shown on every page with an alert before you reach it.

Do I get told when something arrives?

Yes. Both the workspace owner and the uploader receive a completion email, and the upload is recorded in the workspace audit log.

Can the portal carry our branding?

Yes, on Scale and above: your name, logo, colour and a line of your own on every upload page and email, and the portal on a hostname of yours such as uploads.yourcompany.com.
