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 files 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.
