Files & documents

Besides a mailbox, every WazobiaMail account has its own Files space: a secure place to keep documents with the same sign-in as your email. Save contracts, images and spreadsheets there, open them from any device, and share them by a simple link. Open the space from the folders (files) icon at the top of the left rail.

​

What it does

• Upload files from your computer by dragging them straight into the file list (or choose Upload; many phones let you upload straight from the camera roll).
• Organise into folders — create, rename, and nest them; drag to move.
• Preview without opening another app: PDFs, pictures (with zoom), emails saved as .eml, and office documents.
• Download a single file, or select several and download them together as one ZIP archive.
• Edit office documents online — when your administrator has enabled the built-in document editor, a document opens straight in the browser window for editing.
• Search by name across every folder.

Each file keeps a details panel (name, size, last-changed date) with the actions on it: open, rename, move, download, share or delete.

​

Share a file with someone

Sharing means a link, not an attachment:

1. Select the file and choose Share.
2. Choose whether the people with the link can view or edit.
3. Copy the link into the mail or message.

People with the link open it in their browser — they need no WazobiaMail account. If you share a whole folder, you can manage or take back the share later from the same panel, and shared links appear as notifications when they change. The receiving side is easy too: when someone shares a file with you, you get a notification in the app and the shared item appears in your sidebar.

​

Attach from Files when composing

Writing a message and need one of your files? In the composer choose Attach → from Files and pick the document — no need to search the hard drive first. Conversely, an attachment in a message can be saved straight into your Files space from the reading pane.

​

Save email into Files

Behind any message you want to keep as a document, use the reading pane menu to save it as an .eml file — the complete message with attachments lands in Files, where it previews exactly like it did in the mail window. Ideal for closing a finished project folder and keeping the whole correspondence in one place.
