Uploading files via e-mail

Uploading files via e-mail

You can send files, which you encounter during your daily work, simply as e-mail attachments to the Drooms data room 'Inbox' folder, without having to start Drooms each time. When you visit your data room the next time, you can move the files from the Inbox to the index where they belong.

By default only administrators can send files to the inbox. Other users can use the inbox only if they have been granted either the 'Edit', 'Create with approval', or 'Create only' permission for it.
  1. The e-mail address for the inbox can be found in the index 'Inbox' folder description, and with a single click can be copied to your clipboard. It is unique for every data room.      
        
  1. To send files via e-mail to your data room, simply create an e-mail, add the intended files to it as attachments, and send the e-mail to the corresponding data room e-mail address.
Notes
