Claims20
A method for deduplication of a file in a communication message by a processor, comprising:
- determining an attached file of a communication message exists in a cloud storage system;
- and
- sending a link to a communication client for accessing an identical file on the cloud storage system of the attached file.
A system for deduplication of a file in a communication message, comprising:
- one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to:
- determine an attached file of a communication message exists in a cloud storage system;
- and
- send a link to a communication client for accessing an identical file on the cloud storage system of the attached file.
A computer program product for, by a processor, deduplication of a file in a communication message, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that determines an attached file of a communication message exists in a cloud storage system;
- and
- an executable portion that sends a link to a communication client for accessing an identical file on the cloud storage system of the attached file.
