caffrey Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 I'm looking for a solution to allow parents to upload documents securely to our school and not via email (possible GDPR issues etc.) Google forms has a file upload option but requires everyone to have a google account. We have an onsite wordpress installation - is there anything I can install on that ?
6Foot2 Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Our LEA provides a secure file exchange solution (free) Might be worth asking your LEA if they do the same? 1
nicholab Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Do parent not have a VLE logon already so you must have e-mail addresses for them? 1
caffrey Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 No VLE as such, all GSuite We have all contact details, just no secure file upload server Might see if I can set one up
DGardiner Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 https://www.labnol.org/internet/file-upload-google-forms/29170/ something like this might be an idea? 1
caffrey Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks, I'll have a look at that basic version may be enough Was contemplating setting up a temp wordpress VM but it's a fair bit of work
MatthewL Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 What sort of documents are they uploading, don't some of the MIS's have a parents app can they not do it via that?
caffrey Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 I don't entirely know, just that they are confidential We have edulink one

Theres probably some open source stuff somewhere, i dont see why this needs a third party to connect to and should be doable directly to drive. looks simple enough Edited April 2, 2020 by DGardiner 1
caffrey Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks, Drive Uploader seems easy enough to use
