Work with Email Files

To work with email files, click Switch to Classic UI.


As a FileCloud user, you can now access a viewer for email files (.eml). 

On the User Portal, you can open an email file to:

  • View the From, To, Subject and Body
  • View any file attachments
  • Forward that email without any change to other email addresses

What do you want to do?


Uploading an email is the same process you use for any other file.

Opening an email file allows you to read the message, view any attachments, and forward the email to anyone with an email address without any change to email addresses that were originally on the email.

Attachments display at the top of the viewer next to the Subject and the Sender's address.

  • Attachments are displayed in a blue box with a download arrow

In the following example, the attachment is called approve.png.
