At least one hardware computer-readable storage media that comprises instructions that, based on execution by a client computing device, configured the client computing device to perform actions comprising:

• generating permissions for accessing an online document upon creation of an email with the online document attached, the permissions being in an online document system allowing one or more recipient users addressed in the email to access the online document;
• presenting, by the client computing device, a version of an online document to a recipient user listed in an email;
