Receiving Files via Portal (Drive)

In BLAZE Quantum, you can receive files from users who don’t have a BLAZE Quantum account using the Portal feature.

While both BLAZE Transfer and BLAZE Drive support portals, there is a key difference:

• Transfer portals have a limited link validity and file retention period.

• Drive portals allow you to store received files permanently.

Common Use Cases for Portals:

• Collect information from the public via a link on your website

• Use it as a secure contact form

• Include the link in your email signature to receive large or sensitive files
