Inbox

The Inbox is one of the Main Sections. It is designed for receiving files by email.

Every folder in Folderit has its own unique email address, but the Inbox makes this feature especially easy to use because its email address is shown directly when you open the Inbox section.

When someone sends an email with one or more attachments to this address, the attached files are automatically added to the Inbox. Folderit also stores the sender, email subject, and message text as metadata, which you can view when opening the file details.

Only plain, unformatted email text is supported.

Who can send files to the Inbox?

You can share the Inbox email address with anyone who needs to send files to your Folderit account.
The Inbox can also be shared with selected team members, just like other sections and folders. By default, only account administrators can access it.

Important

When sending files to Folderit by email, place the Inbox or folder email address in the To or CC field.
Do not place it only in BCC. If the address is hidden in BCC, Folderit cannot identify which folder should receive the files.

This is how the Inbox works:
