How do I share and link to my files?

HCL Verse® goes beyond simple file attachments by allowing you to share files and link to folders in the cloud. When composing a message, you can select files from your computer or files and folders from HCL Connections™.

You can attach a local file from your computer to a mail message, or link to a Connections File. Connections Files can be added to the message as links so that recipients always have access to the latest version. If you have a file on your computer and have not had time to upload it to Connections, you can do so and link to it in one step while composing your message. You can also include a link to Connections Files folders.

People in your organization who have Connections accounts are automatically given access to the files and folders you share with them.
