Introduction

The feature is currently only implemented for the sending of Data Access Request (GDPR) Reports which exceed 10MB in size, and as a webservice callable from Job Runner.
Future enhancements will include: use in further areas of IQX when sending documents, configurable limits on number of downloads and control of link expiry dates.
