Connecting to OneDrive
OneDrive is a user-friendly cloud storage and collaboration platform that allows you to store, share, and access files from any device. Integrating OneDrive with SmarterMail enhances your file management experience by making it easy to attach large files to emails through shareable OneDrive links. This not only reduces email storage but also ensures recipients always have access to the latest version of the file. These links bypass mail server attachment size limits, simplifying the process of sharing large files. Additionally, you can set permissions (view/edit) and expiration dates for links within SmarterMail, ensuring secure and controlled file sharing.
To integrate OneDrive with SmarterMail:
- Within Marketplace, navigate towards the OneDrive card, make sure your System or Domain Administrator has OneDrive enabled.
- Click on the OneDrive card, a pop-up window will display log-in credentials.
- Log into your OneDrive account through a secure OAuth connection, granting SmarterMail access to your OneDrive account with necessary permissions.
- You can name your cloud service in the Display Name field (This is mandatory). The default name is "My OneDrive". Click Save to apply your changes and confirm the name of your cloud connection.
Attaching Linked Files from OneDrive
- Once connected, users can easily browse their OneDrive files and insert shareable links directly into email messages.
- Simply click the Actions (⋮) button, select Link File, and a pop-up window will appear, allowing you to choose your preferred cloud service, select OneDrive.
- Navigate to the desired file and click on it.
- OneDrive will automatically generate a hyperlink for the file. You’ll also have the option to set permissions, add a password, or establish an expiration date for the link, ensuring secure and controlled access.
