To send attachments via Large File Send:
- Open Microsoft Outlook.
- Create a message.
- Open the Mimecast tab.
- Click the Attach Large Files icon.
- Select the Files you want to attach.
The selected files are attached to the message with a notification that they will be sent via Large File Send. The file extensions are changes to .LFS meaning you can't preview them. If you want to ensure you're sending the correct files, check them before selecting them.
- Click the Send button. The Large File Send options dialog is displayed.
- Amend the settings as required:
Your administrator may enforce some or all of these settings, meaning you cannot override them.Field / Option Description Expiry Access to the Files After Select the expiry date of the Large File Send request from the drop down. The actual expiry date is displayed to the right of the field. Once the specified date has been reached, the file can no longer be accessed via Large File Send. The "Custom" option allows you to set an expiry date that doesn't fit any of the other options (e.g. 28 days) but the specified value can not be more than 90 days.Notify Me When the Files are Accessed If selected, you are notified when the recipient accesses the files via the Large File Send portal. Send me a Link to the Files If selected, you are sent a link to the files in the Large File Send portal. Invite Recipients to Send me Large Files If selected, the recipient can send file attachments back to you via Large File Send. They don't have to be Mimecast customers to do this. This functionality is useful when sending a file for comment or approval. Use an Access Key for Additional File Security If selected, the recipient must authenticate themselves by using an access key, sent to them by the Large File Send portal, before being able to access the files. - Click on the Send button. A progress notification popup dialog is displayed. This automatically closes when the message is successfully sent, and a notification popup message is displayed.
