About transferring files
There are several methods for making files, such as word processing or graphics files, available to other users. Files must be on the server before they can be shared, so no matter which method you use, files that only exist on your own computer are first uploaded.
Note
If you are working with a large file that is only on your computer, and you, or someone who might download this file, use a modem, consider compressing the file before uploading it. Compressed files often transfer faster and take up less space on the server.
You can share a file by attaching it to a message or by storing it in a container. If you attach the file to a message, you can add explanatory text in the message body, and the message can be forwarded to other users. If you store the file in a container, it is available to anyone with access to that container.
About our terminology
We refer to sharing files, but you can also share FirstClass objects, such as documents, address book entries, bookmarks, and voice greetings.
We describe attaching files to messages, but you can also attach files to other FirstClass objects, such as documents, and calendar events and tasks.
Note
FirstClass objects attached to messages cannot be transferred over the Internet.
Files stored in containers
To upload a file to a container:
1 Open the container.
2 Click Upload.
3 Click Browse.
4 Select the file you want to upload.
5 Click Upload.
After the file is uploaded, it has the subject Uploaded File.
You can preview and download files uploaded to containers just as you would files attached to messages.
