Abstract

Disclosed herein are techniques for combining content management system functionality with an email or messaging server. A system can associate an email with a content item, through express attachment, direct reference such as a link, indirect reference, or otherwise. The system can store the associated content item within content item storage or identify a stored content item that is identical to the content item that is associated with the email. The system can then enhance email service functionality with the stored content item. For example, the system can present the stored content item or information about the stored content item along with the email. The system can also automatically grant permissions to the stored content item with participants of the email.
