Files Webmail - Files and Folder Sharing Guide Whether you need to send a single document or collaborate on an entire project, sharing is simple and flexible. You have two main options: Share a single file: Generate a secure URL to allow others to download or co-edit a specific document. Share multiple files: Share a folder with your team so they can access and collaborate on multiple files at once. The Webmail allows you to share folders with other members of your organization, enabling seamless collaboration . With the latest updates, you have precise control over how you distribute your work, whether collaborating internally or sharing documents externally. Document Editing and Collaboration The ability to interact with documents depends on your active mailbox type. Basic Mailboxes: Users can only upload and view documents. Enhanced Mailboxes: Users can edit and collaborate on documents in real-time. The live editing environment is powered by the OnlyOffice integration. Supported formats include Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs. Sharing Folders Folder sharing is restricted to internal use only, meaning you can only share folders with users within your domain.
