The new Attachment Extractor Plugin for transparent attachment access

468 views 2 Updated on March 25, 2020

AttachmentExtractor now features a new Plugin which streams the actual attachments instead of the SharePoint link on every file access.

With older AttachmentExtractor versions, the attachment was moved to SharePoint and replaced with a link in CRM. When users or programs tried to access the attachments, they were only able to get a link file that pointed to the same new save location.

With the new versions of AttachmentExtractor, the actual file is returned on file access, without having to save the file back to CRM. This means that end users and programs experience the file access as if the attachment was never extracted, while CRM database itself is still compact.
