SureDrop for Outlook

We have created an add-in that integrates with Microsoft Outlook in Version 2.11.0-certified. By connecting the SureDrop add-in to your Outlook account, you can:

• Replace email attachments with a shared link to any file, big or small

• Save email attachments that you receive directly to your SureDrop account

Enabling the integration adds a SureDrop icon to the Outlook compose window. When you click this icon a pop-up window appears, allowing you to select from the contents of your SureDrop. A shared link to any selected file or folder will appear in the body of the email.

While this link looks like an attachment, it’s in fact a shared link. This means no slow-down in sending emails, and no space limitations in your inbox.
