Sending links to files & folders

Sending links rather than attachments

CloudFiler provided two easy ways to send colleagues links to files and/or folders rather than attaching them to an email.

Copy link/s to clipboard

If you have already started a document or email and wish to paste in links into it, use the Copy link/s to Clipboard method.

Steps:

Select the file/s or folder/s in Windows File Explorer
Right-click and select Copy link/s to clipboard

You can now paste the links into an email or other document.

Silent Video: Using the Shell Extension's right-click option to Copy Links from Windows File Explorer and in this instance, paste them into an email

Send link/s

To launch a new email with the links already in the body of the message, use the Send link/s method.

Steps:

Select the file/s or folder/s in Windows File Explorer
Right-click and select Send link/s

CloudFiler will open a new Outlook email and with the links already pasted into it.

Silent Video: Using the Shell Extension's right-click option to Send link/s to launch a new Outlook message with links to the selected file/s.
