Title
Suggest Link Attachments in Mailing Interfaces
Description
Instead of attaching large files directly to emails, email clients can suggest or automate the use of cloud storage links. This avoids redundant file storage, reduces energy consumption in data centers, and often improves download performance for recipients.
Participant
End-users (email senders)
Related software artifact
Email clients and mailing interfaces
Context
Daily professional or personal communication using email
Software feature
File attachment handling
Tactic intent
To reduce redundant file storage and improve energy efficiency when sending large files
Target quality attribute
Resource efficiency
Other related quality attributes
Performance, usability
Measured impact
Email attachments can create ~55,000 duplicate files per user per year; link-based sharing reduces this to ~5,000. While the study did not quantify energy directly, fewer duplicates mean less storage demand and thus lower data center energy use.
