Emailing a Link to the Inbox

You can use your site to generate emails containing a link to the Inbox web page for up to 50 email addresses at once. Share Groups allow you to define re-usable lists of recipients to make inviting those recipients more efficient. Each email includes a personalized link to the web page for the inbox.

Inboxes can be configured to accept files through a unique email address. The Inbox email address is not included in Inbox invitations. To share the Inbox email address, copy that address into a message generated in your email client. If you add your inbound email address to the carbon copy (Cc_)_ field in an email message, recipients of that email can reply-all to upload attachments to your Inbox.

Email Invitation Reply-To Addresses

When you send email invitations, the email address of the user who is sending the invitation will be used as the reply-to address for the emails. This is true even if you have customized your SMTP settings with a specific reply-to address for notification emails.

Emailed Invitations Are For Specific Recipients

Invitation emails that are sent to an address are good for only one person. Every email invitation has a unique link to the inbox, even if you're sending invitations to multiple people for the same inbox.

When your recipient clicks on the link in their email, a session is created and saved in the web browser's local storage. The session is tied to that specific web browser and the email address that received the link. If the same link is visited again from that same browser, they will have access to the Inbox.

If the link is later visited in a different browser (either on the same computer or another computer), the inbox will display an error that the invitation has already been used. Each time the site detects this kind of link reuse, it will automatically generate a new email with a new link and re-send it to the original recipient.

A recipient who receives an emailed link sent from your site can use the same link repeatedly from the same browser without invalidating the link.
