Sending Large Files
We do not recommend attaching large files (more than 500 MB) from your PC through the plugin. You will have better, more reliable results logging into and using the web application for large file uploads. Once you have uploaded the large file to Citrix, you can then attach these large files to an email message using Attach Files From Citrix.
