Allow external users to upload files without requiring a system account

Users want to share a secure upload link with external contributors, so that files can be submitted directly into the system without the recipient needing a login or user account. Problem / Pain: When files need to be collected from external contributors — such as photographers, agencies, or partners — those contributors currently require a user account to upload anything into the system. Creating and managing accounts for occasional or one-time contributors is time-consuming and creates unnecessary administrative overhead. As a result, files are often shared through external channels such as email or file transfer services, making it harder to keep everything organized in one place. Impact / Benefit: A shareable upload link would allow internal users to collect files from external contributors quickly and without account management. Files would arrive directly in the right location within the system, reducing manual coordination, eliminating the need for external file transfer tools, and keeping all incoming content organized and traceable from the start. Example use case: A DAM manager is collecting campaign imagery from an external photographer. Instead of creating a temporary user account or exchanging files via email, they generate an upload link tied to a specific collection and send it to the photographer. The photographer uploads the files directly through the link — no login required — and the files appear in the correct location in the system, ready for review.
