Allow Attachment Sharing - How to enable attachment sharing outside of your internal firewall

Sharing Methods in FileHound

FileHound has a few different methods for sharing files with others. By default, our Secure Sharing feature allows you to send a link to your recipient, which can be password protected. You can even apply an expiry period for the link, to ensure it's only valid for a limited time.

However, in some cases you may have a need to share a copy of a document with somebody outside of your organisation as an email attachment. This could be for a number of reasons, such as:

• Providing recipients with their own copy of a file which they need to edit

• If your FileHound instance is behind an internal firewall, you may also need to use this sharing method. 

Step One: Log in and navigate to the Admin Centre by clicking on the Administration button from the charm bar
