Sharing on your own terms
You know how your parents always told you to share? Well, now you get to share your documents with others on your own terms, using your favorite email service. You no longer have to hear “you share that document with your colleague or you will get sent to your cubicle without your latte!”
Instead of having to use an email client that you may not be familiar with, we let you pick whichever popular service you currently use: Gmail, Hotmail, or a local client such as Outlook or Thunderbird. If you don’t use one of these, you can still email using ThinkFree Mail.
- Choose from contacts in your address book, no more maintaining multiple contact lists.
- Have a familiar user interface with rich formatting options.
- Maintain the history of all the documents you have emailed in your sent items folder so that you can refer to them at any time.

As you can see, the Share interface has changed somewhat to accomodate the new features. Below is what the resulting email looks like. Note that the BCC field is filled with information about the document. We use the BCC field to track who you have shared this file with to display in the Detail section of the document. That way you always know who is on the sharing list for this particular document, and if you wish to email them later to discuss the document you can do so with the click of a button. We track who you share the document with only for helping to manage your sharing list. We do not use this information for any other reason.
