I'm trying to find a solution for a client that is constantly sending oversized (20MB+) email attachments via outlook desktop application. I'm wondering if anyone has had any success finding a way to change the default behavior when adding an attachment to upload the file to a filesharing service (I'm agnostic to which one) and add a link for download inlace of the original file ?

I was thinking about trying to do this myself in code but would rather not reinvent the wheel.

(Outlook 2013 and up connected to rack space hosted exchange)

As you didn´t specify which "hosted Exchange" you mean, there is a solution with Exchange Online (a hosted Exchange Version). Using Exchange Online (part from the Office 365 branch) you could use Microsoft OneDrive to store such attachments and only include a link.

As starting point Microsoft has a good documentation about that here.

  • I put at the end that it's backspace hosted, exchange. Is there anyway to leverage this feature without having to go to a 365 subscription ? – bumble_bee_tuna Apr 16 '17 at 17:34
  • Not sure here but as Microsoft install exchange 2016 in there and exchange online / office 365 Stuff you might rebuild such a setup in an on premises environment. – BastianW Apr 16 '17 at 20:53
