SMART ATTACHMENT OF CLOUD-BASED FILES TO COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Technologies are presented directed to smart attachment of cloud-based files to communications such as email. A communication service may determine and select automatically between local and cloud versions of synchronized files allowing the recipient of the message to receive a version of the file regardless of whether the sender is offline or online when the attachment was made and in a user-friendly manner to the sender through a single representation.

主权项

1. A computing device to provide smart attachment of cloud-based files to exchanged communications, the computing device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to execute, in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, a communication service, wherein the communication service comprises:
a communication exchange module configured to facilitate exchange of communications arriving between senders and recipients; andan attachment module configured to:
detect inclusion of a locally stored attachment in an outgoing communication;determine if a cloud version of the attachment is available;automatically select one of the locally stored version and the cloud version of the attachment to be transmitted to a recipient; andtransmit the selected version of the attachment to the recipient along with the outgoing communication.
