Hi. Your HELP files name a number of attachment services for large files. Previous to this, I've used Drop Box and Box Sync. Your software seems to no longer allow them. Why? Also, the named services in your help system are also NOT supported in your drop-down list of available services. I'd like to know why this changes. This is the third or fourth time I am forced to change a service provider due to the fact that Thunderbird does not provide the option for them. How do I add my choice to my email client?

Thanks.

With TB 68.1.2 on W10, I selected Tools/Options(Linux:Edit/Preferences)/Attachments/Outgoing, clicked 'Find more providers' to open a tab in TB with options to add Filelink for WebDAV, Dropbox or Box. After adding Box and Dropbox, they appear in the Outgoing tab as shown in the picture. I haven't proceeded to add any of the choices or test their utility, but they appear to at least be compatible with TB.
