Replace heavy email attachments with feather-light Zoho Docs links

Replace heavy email attachments with feather-light Zoho Docs links

Email attachments can significantly slow you down at work. Large files take up your time when you try to attach them to your emails, and you always have to bring down their file size to fit within the limits of what your email can carry. There is also the hassle of identifying and keeping the different versions of the same file if it's being sent back and forth for edits or reviews. 

 

Zoho Docs integrates with Zoho Mail to give you a one stop solution for all these. You can now send files stored in your Zoho Docs account to anyone through Zoho Mail in a matter of seconds by sending them as links with access permissions.

 

File links work best because:

  • The size of the file does not matter at all.
  • Links can be added in no time, compared to file attachments.
  • A single version of the file in the cloud can be accessed, updated and maintained by all email recipients.
  • You can assign access permissions (read-only/read-write) and expiry dates for the links you share.

 

Follow these steps to attach files as links from Zoho Docs and send them through Zoho Mail:

1. Compose your email in Zoho Mail. Click the drop-down button next to the attach icon.




2. Select Attach from Cloud. A window will appear.


3. Go to the Zoho Docs tab.


4. Select the file you want to attach.


5. Change the Insert as Attachment selection at the bottom right to Insert as Docs link.



6. Click Insert at the bottom left side.


7. Hit  at the top left side of the mail screen. The Share Files window will appear.




8. Choose who you want to share the file with and assign the access permission. Set an expiry date if you want.


9. Click 

 

Go ahead and try out the benefits of this new feature. Let us know your feedback.

 

Cheers,

Zoho Docs
