Disable the Outlook Plug-in

CTERA Agent includes a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook that enables you to send email attachments as public links to files on your portal Cloud Drive. The plug-in syncs attached files to the portal Cloud Drive and inserts public links to the files into the email body.

The plug-in enables you to:

• Send attachments as public links.
• Convert attachments to public links after you attach the files.
• Control the following through the plug-in settings:

• Whether to automatically send all attachments as public links, send any attachments over a certain size as public links, or never automatically send attachments as public links.
• Whether to be asked if you want to send each attachment as a public link.
• The expiration period for the public links.

When you send email attachments as public links:

• You can send large file as links, including those that are larger than the limit that may be imposed by your Microsoft Exchange Server.
• You maintain less Exchange Server storage.
• You can delete or edit files after sending them.
• The files are never sent in a non-encrypted format.

When the email recipient receives the attachment, the recipient clicks the link to view the shared files.

A Cloud Drive user can also revoke access to the attachments after they are sent.
