Receiving large files by email with NetExplorer

Receiving bulky documents by email is often complicated, sometimes impossible. Yet a great many companies still use email as their way of transferring files over the internet. What can you do about it, and how do you pick the right approach for your business?

Exchanging files in your company

With the spread of connected devices, the growing number of software tools and the digitisation of work, the volume of data being exchanged keeps rising. A lot of documents change hands, and their size can become significant, and therefore a problem. Your colleagues may well find themselves stuck when sending or receiving files.

Receiving heavy documents can:

  • fill up the storage space of your mailbox
  • stop incoming emails from arriving
  • block outgoing emails

Email nonetheless remains in daily use in companies for exchanging every kind of document. So how do you receive large files simply and securely, without eating into your mailbox storage or blocking incoming mail?

Receive large documents by email with link sharing

Are you looking to exchange documents regularly with colleagues or clients? There is a way: file sharing through a collaborative cloud platform. It is quick to set up and, above all, it works. You will then be able to receive bulky documents by email very easily.

How does it work?

  • every colleague has a user account on the collaborative solution
  • your teammate creates a share link for one or several documents
  • they send you that link, by email for instance
  • all you have to do is click the link to download the large file
  • you have just received your file by email without filling up your mailbox storage or having attachments blocked

NetExplorer, a file sharing and collaboration solution, lets you transfer large files inside your company or beyond it, and receive documents in just a few clicks.
