How to send smart attachments

SmartAttach technology is very useful if you send big size files. It uploads attachments to the IceWarp cloud storage and a recipient gets only the link. In IceWarp Desktop Client, SmartAttach works in conjunction with FileSync. The latter is used to synchronize big size attachments with the IceWarp cloud storage. The email recipient gets access to the storage via link directly from the email.

2. Sign in to FileSync.

   Note: To sign in to FileSync, use the same credentials as for the IceWarp account.
