A Look At The Features Of OutDisk FTP Add-On

Along with being an advanced email application, Outlook is also used as an effective and secure personal information manager by the users. Although this email application enables users to easily send/receive emails, sometimes the users may experience certain issues in Outlook. Some of the common reasons that lead to the common Outlook issues include Firewalls and inbox size restrictions, which make it difficult for users to insert files as attachments to email messages.

When enquired about Microsoft Outlook issues, the Outlook tech support team said that although file sharing services exist, these are not usually considered as the best option due to various factors. These include questions about HIPAA regulations, privacy, snooping, and data retention policies that remain beyond the sender’s control. But now, the users can heave a sigh of relief as Microsoft has introduced the latest OutDisk FTP Add-on. With this amazing feature, the users would be able to upload file attachments from their emails directly to a server that would remain under their control. Hence, the add-on can be stated as a practical solution, especially for those business firms that would wish to have more control over their data their users need to share. This would help in the smooth flow of the business.

Now, if you are the sender of the message, you would be able to compose the message in Outlook and attach the emails as you do while sending in the normal case. While sending the message, you can go ahead and click on the Use OutDisk button in order to manually activate the upload. You can also try uploading the file by exceeding a file size threshold by setting the size to 0 bytes to upload all files. Once you set it like this, you would be able to upload all the files automatically to the company server that exceeds the threshold size. As a result, a link to the file would be inserted into the email message. Until the recipient downloads the file, it would remain on the server and once it is downloaded, it would get removed automatically. According to Outlook tech support, if the users find any issues regarding the OutDisk FTP Add-on, they can always seek assistance to know more about Microsoft Outlook.

These are some of the features of the OutDisk FTP Add-on. To know more about the features of this application, feel free to contact our technical support team.
