FAQ
What is the difference between inserting a cloud document link and inserting it as a file attachment?
- When you insert a cloud document link, the email shows a document link.
- Recipients can open the document online from the link, and collaboration depends on the file permissions.
- When you insert it as a file attachment, the email includes a file copy, which is more suitable for sending a finalized file.
Can recipients edit the cloud document I send?
- If you send a cloud document link, whether recipients can edit it depends on the original permission settings of that file.
- If collaboration is allowed, recipients can edit it online.
- If you send it as a file attachment, recipients edit the received copy, not the original cloud file.
Can I search for files in the cloud document picker?
- Yes. You can search by file name in the cloud document picker.
- You can also browse the file list first and then choose the target file.
- If results do not appear in time, check your network connection and sign-in status.
