Send files by email

Send a file from VNCfiles without downloading it first. VNCmail opens with the files attached, so you add the recipients and send. The files stay in VNCfiles; nothing is copied until you send the message.

Send one file

1. Open the file’s ⋯ menu and select Send by email….
2. Optionally enter a recipient in To. You can leave it empty and add recipients in VNCmail instead.
3. Check the Subject. It defaults to the file name.
4. Select Compose in VNCmail.

Send several files

1. Tick the checkbox on each file.
2. Select Send by email… in the selection toolbar.
3. Optionally set To and the Subject - it defaults to the number of files.
4. Select Compose in VNCmail.

Up to eight files are listed in the dialog; the rest are summarised as +n more. They are all attached.

Result

VNCmail opens in a new tab, in the composer, with the files attached. VNCfiles shows Opened in VNCmail - add recipients and send.

Note

The files become ordinary attachments in the message. Files another app owns, such as a document created in VNCoffice-c, cannot be sent this way.

Very large selections are refused: if the launch would be too long for a browser address, split the files into smaller batches.
