Abstract
Computing systems configured to efficiently attach files to emails are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a mobile device can include a processor, a camera, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory contains instructions executable by the processor to cause the computing device to capture, via the camera, an image of a machine-readable label shown on a display of a client device used to compose a draft email and decode the captured image of the machine-readable label to derive a network address of a webpage, an authentication token, and an email identification identifying the draft email. The mobile device can also load the webpage in a web browser, and upon receiving an input to upload a file, transmit the digital file to an upload server along with the decoded authentication token and the email identification for attaching the file to the draft email.
