Can Quick Request ask for files and links together? Yes. Files, text, and links use independent checkboxes and each enabled type can be optional or required.
Does the recipient need a LendAFile account? No. A recipient only needs the active private request link or QR code.
Does the request link or QR change after an update? No. Updating the accepted content types keeps the same request URL and QR code.
