Method for filing mail attachments, and cloud storage server

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for filing mail attachments, and a cloud storage server. The method comprises the steps: receiving a mail identification and a cloud storage account number, which are transmitted by a mail client, wherein the mail identification is the identification of a target mail received by the mail client; determining whether a target attachment corresponding to the target mail is stored in the cloud storage server or not according to the mail identification; determining a mail account number corresponding to the cloud storage account number when the target attachment is not stored in the cloud storage server; logging in a mail server according to the mail account number; transmitting the mail identification to the mail server; downloading the target attachment from the mail server according to the mail identification; and building the corresponding relation between the target attachment and the mail identification. According to the embodiment of the invention, the method can save the storage space of the mail client and the flow bandwidth through directly downloading the target attachment from the mail server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, and more particularly, to a method and a cloud storage server for archiving email attachments. Background technique [0002] In daily work and business activities, mail plays a very important role. In the process of email communication, files are generally delivered as email attachments. Because email attachments generally include some important files, it has become a common practice for email clients to archive email attachments on a regular basis. In general, email attachments can be archived locally on the email client, email server, or cloud storage server. [0003] When existing mail clients archive mail attachments, there are mainly two methods of archiving to local and to cloud storage servers. However, if email attachments are archived locally, the files are easily lost, and the speed of retrieving attachments is relatively slow. Due to the limited storage capacity, the mail clien...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this method of archiving email attachments to the cloud storage server avoids some problems of local archiving, that is, the archiving of email clients, the efficiency of archiving is very low, wasting bandwidth consumption and system resources of email clients

And when multiple mail clients archive the same mail, it will increase the concurrent load and resource consumption of the mail server and cloud storage server
