Share externally

The Share externally module allows you to share large documents from F2 with external participants. Most email services do not allow attachments larger than 25 MB. If you wish to share a larger file with an external participant, the Share externally module can help you do it in an easy and secure way. An external participant can also share a large document with you by uploading it directly to a record in F2.

You can share documents with external participants from the record to which the documents are attached. From the record ribbon you can create links for downloading or uploading documents.

With the Share externally module you can keep your data secure as when sending emails from F2 and at the same time avoid the need for third-party file-sharing services that may not meet your organisation’s requirements.

If you need to share a smaller file, it’s perfectly safe to attach it to an email.
