Upload Attachments - StratusTEXTING
Learn more about how you can upload and store files in StratusTEXTING so that users can send links to these attachments in their text messages.
Your StratusTEXTING users have the ability to send texts with links to files, such as documents, spreadsheets, and images. If there are documents that your users frequently send out, you can upload these attachments to the StratusTEXTING portal so that users that do not have a document downloaded can send a link for the file.
Quick Tip: When the recipient receives a linked file, they can access the link to view the file before deciding to download it.
