Merged in a post:
Implement "Share 'Request' as 'Transfer'" button

We have clients submit their documents securely through Sinosend. It's terriific.
Then the next step for is is we have to share the documents with an external organization. We do that securely through Sinosend. It's terrific.
But, boy, wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to download the files and then re-upload them a second time to share those files as a transfer? Like, just click on a "Share Request as Transfer" button that flipped it straight to the "Transfer" page and allowed us to do the whole setup the same way it does for a "Transfer"? That'd be great.

You can now forward a incoming Request file to a new Transfer. No need to download the file and re-upload again. Give it a try!

Great suggestion, although something like this has already been implemented, but perhaps not thoroughly tested, and has some minor limitations that I will outline below.
If you go to the Dashboard - > Requests. There is a "Forward" button.
This will open a new Transfer window with all the files in the requests added to the list.. Here you can remove or add more items, and add your recipients and message as yo would normally do.
Instead of uploading, we copy the files on the server hence there is not need to download and upload again, saving a lot of time and bandwith
The downside is if you have multiple request submitted with the same filename, they will be overwritten with the last one submitted - although we will see how we can improve on this.
Lastly if the "Forward icon" is only visible if both the incoming requests regions match your current region. I.e. if you change your region for the Request and change it again, the Forward icon will not be visible as we cant copy files inter-region.
Let me know how it works for you.

Rishi Uttam, that's terrific, but I'm not seeing any forward button. Should I assume that it's because of the region settings? I have never even seen the region settings and have no idea how to change them. How do I handle that?
