Introduction

When you attach a file from your OneDrive account to an email message, by default, the recipient will be given a link to the online file, which may cause some difficulties if the recipient hasn’t been given permission to the file or if the recipient is outside of the university. To bypass potential problems, you can attach a copy of the file to the message.

Instructions

1. Log in to mail.utoronto.ca
2. Click on New Message.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Compose window, click Attach.
4. You will see the locations you can choose from. Select Browse cloud locations then Files.
   
   
   
   
5. Put a checkmark beside the file(s) you wish to attach and click Next.
   
   
   
   
6. Choose Attach as a copy.
   
   
   
   

Note: If you choose Computer in step 4, you will be given the option to upload to OneDrive and share as a link or to attach as a copy.
