Mail: Add files from Nextcloud as link [$15]

[jancborchardt]

As we previously talked about, it would be useful to be able to put shared links of files from your Nextcloud directly in your email.

This makes sending mails faster cause attachments don't need to be uploaded. And your files don't leave your server.
When choosing files from your Nextcloud, there could be a split button with the choice of either »Attach« or »Add as shared link«.

Any news on this?

I think that is really a big feature, one of my client really ask this as he thought that was a base feature.

Does it make sense to give two options?

1. attach via public link
2. attach via internal link

[ChristophWurst]

By internal link do you mean a password-protected share?

[jancborchardt]

@ChristophWurst "internal link" as in the link you can copy in the sharing sidebar and only people from the same cloud who have that file shared with them can open.

Does it make sense to give two options?

I don’t think it does make sense to give these 2 options, as when you share with someone on the same instance, you already use the internal sharing mechanism. Also, the general links are not _public_. ;)

In any case we can still think about details after a first basic thing is implemented.
