If you want to share a new file, simple create a new email (In case you use Microsoft Office 2013/2016 pop-out the Message window), add the recipient and subject and then choose your share options:

 

Send a Local File as a Link via Email

  • Select "Share File"/"Link to file"


  • Select the file in the file dialog (you can select multiple files as well)

    If you select a folder, ALL files within it and within the subfolders will be shared

  • Adjust or accept the sharing options
  • Click Done
  • Your email will then get a templated text that will be sent to the recipient.
  •  The created email includes:
    • a placeholder for file(s) name(s)
    • a placeholder for the link to the shared file(s)
    • How long the share is available
    • The password to access the link

 Now you can add files by drag and drop for sharing via epiKshare/ownCloud

  • Now you can send the email
  • The shared file will be uploaded in variable chunk sizes

After uploading, the System complete the mail and send them.

You can send multiple remote-links and even mix with local files with one email, the text will be appended.

Allow the Recipient to Upload Files For You (File-Drop)

This is a Feature of the Enterprise Version.

 

In case you dont want to send someone else a file, but rather have them provide files for you, you can use the FileDrop feature. This will create a share, where the recipient can upload files to. This can also be End-To-End Encrypted!

  • Open a new email, best already enter a subject
  • Select "Create Upload-Link"

  • Adjust the share settings:

    The Share Name corresponds to the folder that will be created on the Server. It is automatically generated by the subject of the e-mail

  • Click Done.

 

Note that the folder will automatically be added to your "Watched Folders" and you will get a notification if a new file is uploaded there!

  • No labels
