# Send a large file as a link

If you attach a file larger than the attachment limit, the **Smart Attachment** box opens. Click **OK-Make it Accessible as Link** to save the file in your Storage and send recipients a download link instead. Click **No-Keep it as Attachment** to cancel. The file uses your Storage space, so you need enough free space.

## How to send a large file as a link

1. Attach the large file as usual.
2. When **Smart Attachment** opens, click **OK-Make it Accessible as Link**.
3. Wait while the file is saved to your Storage.
4. Send the mail. Recipients get a link to download the file.

## When to use it

> Vivek, an architect, attaches a 120 MB drawing for a client. Smart Attachment saves it to his Storage and adds a link, so the mail goes through and the client downloads the drawing.

## Good to know

- Smart Attachment appears only when a file is larger than the maximum attachment size your administrator has set.
- You need free Storage space for the file.
- To link a file that is already in Storage, use Add Storage Link instead.

## Common questions

**When does the Smart Attachment box appear?**

Only when the file is larger than the maximum attachment size. Smaller files attach normally.

**What if I delete the file from Storage later?**

The link stops working. Keep the file in Storage for as long as recipients need it.
