System, client apparatus, server apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable storage medium for email transmission

A client apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing a program;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor executes the program to perform:
• transmitting to a server apparatus email information including destination email addresses of an email and information about a first file selected as a file to be attached;
• receiving from the server apparatus at least one storage destination which is accessible to all users corresponding to the destination email addresses and in which a second file relating to the first file is stored, as at least one storage destination candidate for the first file;
• displaying the received at least one storage destination candidate on a display;
• storing the first file in a storage destination corresponding to a storage destination candidate selected by a user from the displayed at least one storage destination candidate;
• and
• transmitting to the destination email addresses an email including a link to the stored first file.

A server apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing a program;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor executes the program to perform:
• receiving from a client apparatus email information including destination email addresses of an email and information about a first file selected as a file to be attached;
• determining, based on the received email information, at least one storage destination which is accessible to all users corresponding to the destination email addresses and in which a second file relating to the first file is stored, as at least one storage destination candidate for the first file;
• and
• transmitting to the client apparatus the determined at least one storage destination candidate for the first file.

An information processing method which is executed by a client apparatus, the information processing method comprising:

• transmitting to a server apparatus email information including destination email addresses of an email and information about a first file selected as a file to be attached;
• receiving from the server apparatus at least one storage destination which is accessible to all users corresponding to the destination email addresses and in which a second file relating to the first file is stored, as at least one storage destination candidate for the first file;
• displaying the received at least one storage destination candidate on a display;
• storing the first file in a storage destination corresponding to a storage destination candidate selected by a user from the displayed at least one storage destination candidate;
• and
• transmitting to the destination email addresses an email including a link to the stored first file.

An information processing method which is executed by a server apparatus, the information processing method comprising:

• receiving from a client apparatus email information including destination email addresses of an email and information about a first file selected as a file to be attached;
• determining, based on the received email information, at least one storage destination which is accessible to all users corresponding to the destination email addresses and in which a second file relating to the first file is stored, as at least one storage destination candidate for the first file;
• and
• transmitting to the client apparatus the determined at least one storage destination candidate for the first file.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that when executed by a client apparatus causes the client apparatus to perform:

• transmitting to a server apparatus email information including destination email addresses of an email and information about a first file selected as a file to be attached;
• receiving from the server apparatus at least one storage destination which is accessible to all users corresponding to the destination email addresses and in which a second file relating to the first file is stored, as at least one storage destination candidate for the first file;
• displaying the received at least one storage destination candidate on a display;
• storing the first file in a storage destination corresponding to a storage destination candidate selected by a user from the displayed at least one storage destination candidate;
• and
• transmitting to the destination email addresses an email including a link to the stored first file.
