After doing so it will also send the emails with the new request link. FolderId is the ID of the directory where the files will be uploaded in ShareFile. emails is a comma separated list of emails. subject is the subject of the email that is sent out. note id added as a note within the body of the email. The CreateLinkOptions* properties can be used to specify the different options for the newly created link.

Note that the string root may be used as a FolderId to represent the root folder, and the string home may be used as a folder Id to represent the home folder for the current user. Other special id's include:

• favorites
• allshared
• connectors
• box
• top

string FolderId = shareFile.CreateFolder("Incoming Files", "home");
string Link = shareFile.CreateAndEmailRequestLink(FolderId, example@example.com, "ShareFile Request", "");
