The Files.com Outlook Add-In replaces email attachments with secure, revocable Share Links — without leaving Outlook. Upload local files or convert the attachments already on a message; the file never travels through email, your sharing policies apply automatically, and you can revoke access at any time after sending.
Email is where governed file exchange quietly leaks. Contracts, reports, and client files go out as attachments — uncontrolled, unrecallable, capped at 25 MB, and invisible to the audit trail. The add-in fixes that at the point of send, in the tool people already live in.
An attachment is gone the moment the email leaves. A Share Link stays under your control. Sent the wrong version, or sent it to the wrong person? Revoke the link and the file is unreachable — something no attachment has ever been able to do.
Mail servers cap attachments around 25 MB. The add-in uploads the file to Files.com and sends a link instead, so a 5 GB video or a full project archive goes out in the same email as a contract — and the recipient downloads it in their browser, no account needed.
Every link the add-in creates follows your site's Share Link policies — password protection, expiration, recipient restrictions. The sender doesn't configure anything, and can't skip anything. Governance rides along on every email.
Attachments vanish into sent-mail folders. Share Links are recorded in the Files.com audit log — who sent what, who downloaded it, and when. When someone asks “did the client ever get that file,” the answer is a lookup, not a guess.
Pick local files from the compose window. The add-in uploads them to Files.com, creates a Share Link, and inserts it into your message body. The file never travels through email.
Already dropped files onto the message? One click converts the attachments into a Share Link — same email, same recipients, none of the attachment risk.
The add-in ships inside the Files.com Desktop App for Windows — no separate download, no per-seat add-in deployment. Install the Desktop App, sign in, and the buttons appear in the Outlook compose toolbar.
Contracts to clients. Board reports to stakeholders. Deliverables too large for the mail server. Sensitive documents to outside counsel. These are exactly the files that should never ride along as attachments — and exactly the ones that always do, because sharing any other way meant leaving the email.
The add-in creates snapshot Share Links, so the file you send is the file they get — a fixed copy, held by Files.com, downloadable until the link expires or you revoke it. And with a link expiration or a download limit, the copy cleans itself up when its job is done — no stale file sitting in someone's inbox forever. Every link can carry your branding and your domain, so what the client clicks looks like you, not a third-party tool.
