Systems and methods for providing a file management system include a system provider device that receives, through communication over a network with a user device, a request to create a file management account. The system provider device may then provide a DBMS layer that interfaces and mediates communication between a webmail file system and a UI application. In some cases, the webmail file system includes file storage for at least one webmail provider, and the at least one webmail provider includes a user webmail account. Thereafter, the system provider device may copy a file into the UI application by attaching the file to a draft email within the user webmail account, where the draft email including the attached file is saved in the file storage for the at least one webmail provider.
