Archiving files linked to cloud service or network drives in emails

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Providing links to files is increasingly becoming a common practice, partly due to the size restrictions on attachments imposed by email clients. However, the current version of Mailbagit does not archive these linked files, leading to archived emails that are incomplete as archival records.

Describe the solution you'd like Files linked from cloud services or network storage ought to be archived and stored locally. Additionally, there should be a reference to link these files back to their corresponding email messages.

Describe alternatives you've considered Archive-IT asserts that there are no known problems with archiving Google Docs and Sheets. Yet, there have been cases where archived Google spreadsheets show error messages along with their content. Currently, there's no solution to this Wayback replay issue, but the content of these crawls can still be collected and preserved as improvements are underway. Browsertrix Crawler/Cloud, on the other hand, has not been successful in archiving Google Docs. Moreover, neither AIT nor Browsertrix Crawler offers email archiving integration. This is where Mailbagit stands out, providing the exclusive capability to archive both emails and web content, thus offering a solution without compare.
