Abstract

Functionality is disclosed herein for uploading files to a sharing service using a messaging client. Utilizing the technologies described herein, a user may select one or more files to be shared by utilizing a messaging interface configured to compose an electronic message, such as an email. In response to receiving a selection of one or more files to be shared, the selected files are communicated to a sharing service where the selected files are stored on one or more servers. In addition, some configurations generate one or more links operative to provide access the one or more files stored on the servers of the sharing service. The links are then inserted into the electronic message. Using an implementation of the technologies disclosed herein, users may share files using a sharing service while composing a message without the need to interact with different controls or interfaces of multiple services.
