New Add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook
The add-in gives you a new button in Outlook that automates Uploading and Sharing so you can send any local files to anyone, effortlessly. Let's say you need to send someone 100 files totaling 750MB - How do you do it? You could burn a disk and mail it, but that takes too much time.

After installing the Outlook add-in, draft a new email message in Outlook, and instead of choosing "Attach File", choose "Send Files via FilesAnywhere". The add-in will prompt you to select local files, and you click Upload Now  that's all you have to do! FilesAnywhere takes care of the rest: the files are automatically uploaded and a FileShare link is created and inserted into your email message, all in one step. No need to login at the website. Recipients just click the link in your email to download your shared files from our server. The add-in encrypts and saves your username/password, so the next time you use the feature in Outlook you don't have to enter your FilesAnywhere info. This add-in will save you time. Best of all: no more size limits sending files in email!
