This is useful when you want to reduce the friction and encourage non-Dash users to submit assets, such as:
Public submissions of user-generated content (UGC)
Photographers who are out-and-about and don't have time to upload using the usual method

Once added, they'll see the upload screen. From here, they can use the buttons below to either submit their assets or add more:
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit on how many assets can be uploaded via a guest upload link?
Visitors can only upload 500 assets at a time via a guest upload link.
To upload more than 500 assets, the user can simply submit their assets and upload a new batch by going back to the guest upload screen.
Can guests edit the assets they upload?
No, guests can only upload assets. They cannot modify them, for example changing the title or populating fields. This is all done by the approver or subsequently by users with contributor-level to the asset in Dash.
Will guest uploaders be notified if/when their assets are approved?
No, guest uploaders will not receive any further notifications from Dash.
