Abstract: A method and system for exchanging email attachments is disclosed. An attachment can be sent to one or more recipients using a file hosting service. In this way, instead of including the attachment with the email, the attachment is sent and stored on a file server. The attachment can later be retrieved by the email's recipients using a link that is included in the email. The link can be embedded in the email's header or body. In one case, the attachment is automatically retrieved from the file server using the link. In another case, a recipient can manually retrieve the attachment from the file server using the link. A link can be associated with an expiration date such that when a link expires, the link can no longer be used to retrieve the attachment.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于交换电子邮件附件的方法和系统。 可以使用文件托管服务将附件发送到一个或多个收件人。 以这种方式，将附件发送并存储在文件服务器上，而不是使用电子邮件附加附件。 电子邮件的收件人可以使用电子邮件中包含的链接随后检索附件。 该链接可以嵌入在电子邮件的标题或正文中。 在一种情况下，使用链接从文件服务器自动检索附件。 在另一种情况下，收件人可以使用链接从文件服务器手动检索附件。 链接可以与到期日期相关联，使得当链接到期时，链接不能再用于检索附件。
