Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for electronic communication and file reference association. In an example, a file reference may refer to file content stored by a file service. The file reference may be used to share the file content in an electronic communication among a plurality of users. The file reference may be identified within the electronic communication, and may be used to generate a file node. The file node may store information relating to the file content and/or file reference. A message node associated with the electronic communication may be created, which may be associated with the file node. The file node may later be used to identify electronic communications relating to the file reference. Thus, electronic communications relating to the file reference may be accessible to a user using the file reference or by searching, rather than manually identifying related electronic communications.
