    Note: You can also attach files from other cloud file storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, ShareFile or One Drive. When you choose to attach files from a cloud service the system will ask for your permission to connect with the file storage service of your choice.

When you choose to link files from a cloud service the system will ask for your permission to connect with the file storage service of your choice. “Linking Files” to a document is different than “Attaching Files.” When you link a file, it will only attach a link of the file from the cloud service and won’t make a snapshot (in time) of that file. On the other hand when you use the “Attach Files” feature, a snapshot (in time) of the attached files will be stored as record with the documents.
