OneDrive - How to make file requests

Useful for creating assignment submissions

By Bradley J. Kennedy

It seems that this feature needs to be enabled by your Administrator. This will not be available on all OneDrive accounts. See microsoft support for more info.

Step 1

Create new folder in OneDrive

Step 4

Copy the link and share with those who need to submit the file. You can Send in an email / Post it in Teams / Create a ‘submission link’ on Moodle.

Done!

This is how it looks to the submitter. You will receive an email notification for each new submission - I would recommend setting up an Outlook Rule to automatically move those notifications to a separate folder so as to not fill your inbox!
