Email is the most popular service in a business environment.
However, it comes with a few inconveniences for content delivery
when dealing with large size file attachments as it requires a lot of
bandwidth and server loading with the exchange of a huge
volume of attachments. The FileCruiser Outlook plug-in generates a link that can be used instead of email attachments. • Mail Link: Users just select the file or folder in FileCruiser and
the Share Link will be added into the email automatically.
• Mail Convert: Auto convert all attached files you received from
others into links before you forward the mail.
