Emailing Links to Documents and Folders

You can email mobile URLs to documents and folders that other users can open using Laserfiche Mobile and Web Access. Learn more about Mobile URLs.

PDFs and Laserfiche note files (.rtf) will open in the Laserfiche Mobile app. A document's text will only open when it’s the only thing that exists for that document.
