Upload Portal with Outlook Integration
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a lightweight internal webpage that lets a user:
• browse and select any file type
• pick recipients straight from our Outlook Global Address List
• hit “Send” to finish the process
Behind the scenes the solution must, instantly and without manual intervention, copy the uploaded file to a fixed network share I will specify. Right after that it should send an Exchange email to the chosen recipients that includes:
– file name and full path on the share
– upload time stamp
– the uploader’s user ID or display name
Key points
• Works only on our intranet; no external access required.
• Authentication can rely on integrated Windows/AD credentials so the uploader info is accurate.
• Exchange Server–compatible APIs or EWS must be used for GAL lookup and message dispatch.
• Clean, minimal UI: one file-picker, a GAL search/selector, and a confirmation button.
Deliverables
1. Fully functional web page (frontend + backend) running on IIS.
2. Server-side code that handles the file move, email creation, and basic error logging.
3. A short deployment and configuration guide so I can adjust share paths or server names later.
4. Brief hand-off session or README covering prerequisites (.NET version, Exchange permissions, etc.).
Keep the code clear and well-commented so future tweaks are easy.
