Create Custom File Request links
Currently, today, you can create a file request link, which generates a 32 character alphaumeric string. I'd like the ability to create a custom URL (like I can with shared links) to make it easier to promote my file request links to my stakeholders and make them more rememberable.
These custom file request links could have mandated security attached to them, either enforcing these to be only available to links set to "Require Uploaders to log in to Box" or (not available today in the product), enforce adding a password to access the custom file request link (see additional idea - https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/42999867-passwords-on-file-request-links)

Custom URLs for File Request would allow branding for links and simplicity for the users uploading.

I'd like to see this as well. This is the number one request from my users RE file requests. Because these links are often client facing, they want short, memorable urls, not the long alphanumeric links we're currently limited to.

This is actually an important feature. File Request links are usually very ***** facing. The ability to customize the URL could be more important here than it is with regular shares.
