Will you save the content of the email?

Mailboxfiler is not designed to store the content of the email. You can still store the content in the database for viewing by enabling 'Store content' on the mailbox settings.

The idea behind Mailboxfiler is to organize email attachment uploads to any storage medium in a simple and user-friendly way. We don't use your data in any form, including improving our product or business.

How long will the email be stored on the servers?

When Mailboxfiler receives an email, the attachments are uploaded to the selected storage medium based on the mailbox preference. This time is dependent on the server background workers to process the email, which will never be more than 1-2 mins.

Downloadable Links

Why is my file not downloaded from the link?

Mailboxfiler tries to download the file from links in the email. There are scenarios where the link might not be a downloadable URL but pointing to a website with a button to download. These cases are ignored by default.

Only half of my links are downloaded. What about the rest?

Based on your plan, there are limits on the number of links downloaded from the email.

Will you scan for the virus in the link attachment?

No. We don't read anything from the file. The file is downloaded from the link and uploaded to the associated storage medium.

What's the size limit for the file from the link?

The number of links and the file size in the link is based on the plan subscription.
