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

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.

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.
