Uploading and downloading files in Zimbra Briefcase

How to get files into and out of Briefcase, the file store built into Zimbra webmail.

Briefcase holds files alongside your mail, so they are reachable from any device you sign in from. It replaced Zimbra Drive, and any files you had there were moved across when the service was upgraded.

Uploading files

1. Sign into Zimbra webmail.
2. Open the Briefcase tab in the top menu bar, then click Upload File.
3. In the Upload New Files to Briefcase window, click Choose files.
4. Select the files you want. You can pick several at once by clicking the first, then holding Shift and clicking the last.
5. Check the count shown in the upload window, then confirm the upload.

The files appear in the main Briefcase window once the upload finishes.

Downloading files

1. Open the Briefcase tab and find the files you want.
2. Select them by clicking the icon in front of each filename.
3. Use the Download option, which is also on the right-click menu for the selected files.
4. Save each file where you want it on your computer.

Your browser handles the download itself, so where the files land depends on its own download settings.
