FileMailer

FileMailer is an open-source native macOS application that prepares an editable email from files selected in Finder. It is a productivity tool for user-initiated correspondence: every sender, recipient, subject, message body and attachment remains visible for review, and FileMailer sends nothing until the user presses Send.

FileMailer is maintained as an open-source project by Thomazlb.

What FileMailer does

• Analyzes selected files locally on the Mac and can propose an editable draft.
• Connects a Google account only when the user chooses to do so.
• Uses the Gmail API only to send the message the user has reviewed.
• Offers an optional Google Drive link for large files or file types Gmail does not accept. Those files are uploaded only when the user selects that option.

FileMailer does not read the user’s Gmail inbox, existing messages, Gmail drafts or Gmail history. It does not send automatically, provide bulk-mailing features, operate a developer backend, use analytics, or include a third-party crash reporter.

How Google data is used

FileMailer requests the minimum scopes needed for its visible features:

• openid, email and profile identify the Google account selected by the user;
• gmail.send sends only the message explicitly reviewed and sent by the user;
• drive.file is requested separately and only if the user chooses a Google Drive link.

For a Drive link, FileMailer creates or uses a file in the user’s Google Drive and grants reader access only to the message’s To, Cc and Bcc recipients. It does not create a public link or request access to the user’s whole Drive.
