The exchange of data on the Internet knows many different ways. In personal contact, however, it is still the e-mail that determines what happens.

Possibilities of data exchange

Not so much time has passed since the letter and the telegram were pushed back. Since the first e-mail in 1971, the transmission of information has become very fragile. You can choose between floppy disk, CD, USB stick, e-mail, fax, mobile messenger and of course cloud services. There are good reasons why there is hardly any talk of floppy disks and faxes today. Because storage limitations and inflexible forwarding are an exclusion criterion in today’s data volumes. No one wants to exchange data by post on a scratch-prone CD or DVD anymore. And USB sticks that break down quickly no longer play a role. Even the classic telephone conversation gradually loses its advocates. The majority of information transfer today takes place online.

Mailing restrictions

Even though e-mail has many advantages over the letter in terms of data exchange, it is still subject to restrictions. These restrictions depend on the e-mail provider. This determines the upper limit for the size of the e-mail attachments, the storage space of the mailbox and the sending of messages per se. In detail, the e-mail can be limited by the following parameters:

  • maximum number of messages
  • maximum number of receipts
  • message size
  • size of attachments
  • maximum number of recipients

The number of recipients and the number of messages are usually sufficient. In most cases, it is the size of the attachments that acts as a disturbing factor during data exchange.

The Outlook Add-in from TeamDrive (also called Outlook Plugin)

In contrast, the Outlook add-in of TeamDrive is not subject to any size restrictions. Except the storage space on your TeamDrive Space. The fact that the data is now sent via a Teamdrive server ensures maximum data security. This combines the two advantages of no size restrictions and high data security in the familiar Outlook environment.

Data exchange secure & uncomplicated

The recipient of the data does not need a TeamDrive account. However, data security does not suffer at all. All your data is encrypted end-to-end during transmission. You also have the option of assigning a password, which the recipient needs to open. You can also define a period of time after which the data on the server is automatically deleted. The data can also be stored at a completely different location than the space of the sender.

With the Outlook Add-in from TeamDrive, exceeding the permitted e-mail attachments is history!
