Abstract
Functionality is disclosed herein for setting sharing options for files using a messaging client. A message interface is displayed that allows a user to compose an electronic message. While the message is being composed, the user may specify sharing options for a file, or files, associated with the message. The sharing options may specify access settings used to identify the users that are allowed to access the file through a sharing service, feedback settings that are used to indicate when feedback is expected, and expiration settings that are used to indicate when sharing of the file expires. The sharing options are communicated from the messaging client to the sharing service. The sharing service may utilize the sharing options to control the manner in which the file, or files, is shared.
