The customer would like to be able to see their Filr folders from within their mail client, allowing for attachment of files, or drag and dropping of files, Search would be nice as well.
I think we can go further and implement a integration like Gmail and Gdrive, when you can click on a attachment sent by other person (usually from outside) and "promote" to Filr. This file was trasfered by a commom folder on user account.
I know that Get File Link feature was a huge improvment, but we need to keep walking as our competitors are alive.

Excellent idea and requested frequently here by our younger users in particular...
We got several questions, if i can use Filr in in Outlook. So one feature would be nice to send an attachment and filr recognizes this. It will force to send a link and my mailbox redirects the recipient to filr as download. Like a secure file transfer. but no attachement in my mail. security off. acessing filr through mail credentials or token.
Noted team - good idea!
In order to help to implement this in the best way to meet your needs - I have sent (via email) a survey to all of you who have voted for this idea. Please participate in the survey and provide us the details.
To have a add in in GW like how you can use Vibe in GW it would be great to have Filr also there - good idea!

Outlook integration getting ready to ship as part of Filr's next update: Filr 3.2 around June!
Thanks for all your inputs and interests on this.
This is now available as part of Filr 3.2 (Released last week).
Marking this idea as completed.
