M-Files External to Upload Files

Question

Hi all, 
 
 I might be asking a simple question. 
 Let say that we are using M-Files for recruitment process and we require the candidates to also upload and edit documents (e.g : Certificates, CV and etc ) in M-Files. 
 
 Do we have any alternative than giving the candidates the hyperlink which will require license. 
 Or do you guys have any advice on sharing the access to external parties ?

You have a few options: 
 
 You have a web application that allows the user to upload their documents, then write those to disk somewhere and use the "External File Source" functionality to import them. 
 You integrate a web application with M-Files via one of the APIs (this will still need a login, but licensing is much more straight-forward than everyone needing a licence). 
 You use Hubshare or similar. 
 
 It depends on a number of factors. Largely, I guess, how willing you are to write code. If you have that capability then I would probably go down route #2. If you don't want to write code then you'll need to look at Hubshare or something similar; I know that our partners have some off-the-shelf solutions ( https://catalog.m-files.com ).

 Craig.
