## Uploading with email

Each folder has a unique email address that you can use to send attachments directly into the folder.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3339468055-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC4uAXnQI1lFTPXLjdosr%2Fuploads%2FNsEkZa3obHhGAYfqht9o%2FSmmall%20Cloud%20Markup%20on%202025-06-03%20at%2011-51-16.png?alt=media&#x26;token=74e22691-5efc-46b8-a71c-6bcd98191a42" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Any files sent to the folder address from any email will be automatically uploaded. You can use the folder address in the `To` , `CC` , or `BCC` fields and Smmall Cloud will upload the attachments. In the case of a long email thread, Smmall Cloud will automatically discard duplicates.

You can share the folder email address with anyone and they will be able to email files to the folder.
