Outlook 365 - Sending Large Attachments

File sizes have grown over the years; however, not all e-mail service providers have kept up with attachment limits. Sending a file larger than your recipient's file size limit may prevent your message from reaching their inbox. Before sending out an e-mail with a large attachment (> 5 MB), consider using the OneDrive online storage provided with your Office 365 membership to share files as a link.

Attaching your File

Once you have your message and file ready, find the "Attach" menu and choose the "Cloud Locations" option.

Next, choose the option "Computer" to instruct the OneDrive tool to look at local files, then browse for and select your file.

screenshot displaying the menu options

 

You'll be prompted to choose how to attach your local file. Confirm that you wish for the file to be uploaded to OneDrive and attached as a link.

screenshot displaying the upload and share as a onedrive link option

 

Once your file has finished uploading, you'll see it attached as a OneDrive link. Your recipient will be able to download the file as long as it exists within your OneDrive storage.

Backing up data is an important part of managing your digital content, and here at Stockton all files saved to your My Documents folder are automatically backed up to Stockton鈥檚 servers.  This protects your work from accidental deletion, corruption, or hardware failure, and gives you access to it from any Stockton computer that you鈥檙e currently logged in to.

In this example of how to save your work to your Stockton network backup folder, we鈥檒l be using any component program of the Microsoft Office Suite.

Keeping your documents backed up is critical to data security, and lost work is lost time! Nobody wants to re-write a syllabus from scratch, or to lose batches of data collected in the field. Additionally, if you鈥檙e ever off-campus and need a document, you can access this folder by logging into Stockton鈥檚 VDI, a virtual desktop service that operates on Stockton鈥檚 network.

Phishing is any attempt to disguise electronic communications with the intent to defraud and acquire information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details. As computer networks become hardened against online attacks, social engineering has become a more potent vector and an attractive target for criminals. 91视频 takes network security seriously and asks that you notify staff of any phishing attempts you receive.

If you have received a message directing you to reply with or otherwise enter personally identifiable information online, please report the message as a phishing attempt (phishing@stockton.edu) or use the phish alert button which reports the phishing solicitation to the Information Security team (this button automatically appears in your Outlook and Office 365 clients).

A screenshot depicting the "Mark as Phishing" button in Outlook Web.

A screenshot depicting the "Report Phishing" button in the Outlook client for Windows.

The Phish Alert button will also delete the suspicious email from your mailbox to prevent any future exposure. We all play a critical role in keeping institutional data secure and to aid in this task, we ask that you take a skeptical approach to any solicitations that seem suspicious. 91视频's Information Technology Services will never ask you to disclose your password (via email or otherwise).

If you suspect that you鈥檙e being targeted, please notify information.security@stockton.edu via email or by calling (609) 652-4779. 

Additionally, if you feel unsure about an email message sent from a member within the Stockton community, please reach out to them or their unit directly for clarification (before clicking on included links or opening suspicious attachments).

E-mail is one of the most reliable forms of communication at 91视频. All faculty, staff, and 91视频 are provided with an e-mail address, and it produces a record for both the sender and the recipient. Often it can be burdensome to address e-mails to many recipients, however with e-mail lists you can reach your entire class with a single message!

 

To begin, either open your Outlook desktop client or mobile app, or log into Outlook Web in your web browser. Class e-mail lists are only available to @stockton.edu e-mail address associated with a course鈥檚 instructor, they will not relay your message if it originates from a personal e-mail address e.g. gmail, yahoo mail, aol.

 

When using your class e-mail list, the address is formatted as: 

 [semester][year]-[school][course][section]@stockton.edu 

 For example, a 2019 Fall Semester course, GEN-1000-091, would be addressed as 
鈥 fall2019-gen1000091@stockton.edu 鈥.

 

Any messages sent to these lists will be relayed to all 91视频 currently registered for the course in Banner, this does not include waitlisted 91视频. These lists are automatically generated and will self-update as 91视频 register and de-register.
