Create File Request Directly From Destination Folder

It would be great if we could create file requests directly from the destination folder, rather than going through the file request section and manually scrolling through our firms hundreds of folders to find the right one. The procedure should be: Navigate to the desired folder as usual -> click button that says "Create File Request to This Folder".  If it could also be integrated into the windows file explorer, that'd be even better.

    This is already available on the Dropbox site by clicking the 'Crete' button while in the folder you want, and choose 'Send file request.

     

    Would this be suitable for your requirements?
