E-Mail Document
 

NetDocuments provides three ways to send a copy of a document to others. 

  • E-mail a document that exists within NetDocuments to a non-NetDocuments user

  • E-mail a document that does not exist within NetDocuments directly to a specified NetDocuments folder

  • Create a NetBinder to collaborate on a single copy of the document(s)


In this help section, we focus only on option one, but you may click on the references below to learn more information about the other options. 
 


E-mail a document that exists within NetDocuments to a non-NetDocuments user

 

By simply accessing any document that is unfiled or filed in a folder, the option to e-mail the document appears on the Document Navigation menu.  Or for a NetBinder, the option appears in the Options dialog box that appears upon accessing a document that exists within the NetBinder. 

 

Before you begin e-mailing documents outside of NetDocuments, consider three things:

 

  • Consider whether you wish to use the standard e-mail dialog provided by NetDocuments, or whether to use integration with Microsoft Outlook to access your personal or corporate address books.  To configure NetDocuments to integrate with Outlook, click on My Account and select Collaboration Settings.  Turn on Desktop Email Integration

  • Consider security.  Remember that this is the only operation from within the service that does not use SSL to transfer data.  Your document will be sent via the standard unsecured routes for anyone to trace.  If you need to "send" a document securely, we recommend using the powerful features of the NetBinder

  • NOTE: If you have installed the Outlook integration available from My Account, Application Settings, you can access any document in NetDocuments from within the Outlook email interface by using the NetDocs Insert button.  You are able to attach multiple documents to an email using this option.
