FAQs

How do I save an email to OneDrive?
Forward it to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "save this under Suppliers/Calder Print". ForwardThis saves the attachment to the right folder, giving it a fresh name if OneDrive already has one like it, and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with OneDrive connected. It takes about 30 seconds.
How do I save email attachments to OneDrive?
Forward the email and name the folder in your instructions. Every attachment you ask for is saved there, and the confirmation lists each file with its link.
What if a file with the same name is already there?
Nothing is overwritten. OneDrive gives the new file a fresh name automatically, and the confirmation shows the name it was given.
Can I email files to OneDrive directly?
No. OneDrive has no inbound email address, and neither does SharePoint. ForwardThis fills the gap: forward the email, and the attachment is filed where you asked.
Can it save into a folder a colleague shared with me?
Yes. Name the folder and the file lands on their drive, where the folder really lives, and ForwardThis creates a folder that is not there yet. Moving a file you already have into a shared folder is the one thing OneDrive refuses, because it cannot move a file onto someone else's drive, so ForwardThis offers a copy instead and says so.
Is a SharePoint library the same thing?
No. OneDrive here is your own drive, or a folder someone shared with you from theirs. A SharePoint document library is a separate connection with a page of its own. One more difference by account type: on a personal OneDrive a file it deleted can be put back from the confirmation email, while on a work or school account the recycle bin in OneDrive is the only way back.
Does it work with Outlook and other email apps?
Yes. ForwardThis works with any email provider: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and everything else. If it can forward an email, it works.
What happens to my email afterwards?
It gets deleted. ForwardThis holds your email briefly in case you press undo, then removes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.

Forward an email. Sh*t gets done.
