==== Capabilities of Briefcase ====

You can use the Zimbra Briefcase feature to:

  * Make important files available from remote locations
  * Share files with internal users
  * Share files with external users
    * With or without authentication (public access)
  * Control access to shared files
    * Read or write access

==== Create a Folder with Public Access ====

:!: This is only done once.

:!: Don't put sensitive files in this folder.

Here we create a folder named 'Public' where we can place files we want to send to recipients without them needing credentials (username and password) to access the files.

  * Log into your Zimbra Web Client (ZWC)
  * Click the ''Briefcase'' tab
  * Right-click the existing ''Briefcase'' folder and choose ''New Folder''
  * Name it ''Public'' and, optionally, choose a color for the folder
  * Right-click the ''Public'' folder and choose ''Share Folder''
  * Choose ''Public (view only, no password)''

:!: Make note **(copy) the URL** for the Public folder and save it for later.

==== Send Large Files via E-Mail ====

Using the Zimbra Briefcase feature, it's easy to send very large files to e-mail recipients.

  * Log into your Zimbra Web Client (ZWC)
  * Click the ''Briefcase'' tab
  * Upload the large file you want to send into the Public folder in your Briefcase
  * Right-click the file you want to send and choose ''Send Link(s)''

:!: You can send multiple files by selecting them all first with control-clicks.

:!: You can also send the link to the entire Public folder if you want the recipient to access all the files in the Public folder.
