Top-level
 The average office worker receives around 144 irrelevant messages per day, of which 24% have attachments. Email attachments sent in copy are accessed only 6% of the time. https://www.mxhero.com/post/save-the-planet-replace-email-attachments-with-file-share-links 4 comments
@gerrymcgovern IMO the most useless of those are picture attachments that are just a signature: name of the company, and contact information which has to be read only with human eyes, as this task is much more complex for computer than for human :)  @alexcleac That reminds me of a company I used to work for. Our department (IT) closely followed the amount of space needed on our mail server. Whenever space became less than about 6 months worth of new emails, we'd expand the virtual disk so that there would be enough room for approximately another year. Our marketing department decided that everyone should use a uniform signature including the company logo 1/2 |

"With email attachments representing, very conservatively, around 17,000 files per worker per year, we conclude that in a 1,000-person company a staggering 17 million file copies are created every year as a result of email’s file-sharing methodology."
