The development of new file-sharing techniques creates a dynamic challenge for legal professionals and raises significant questions about electronic discovery. Most organizations now utilize cloud-based file systems for file creation, organization, and sharing. Rather than cluttering emails with attached documents, links to files stored in web-based clouds are sent, directing recipients straight to the source document. These hyperlinks, often called "modern attachments" or electronic "pointers," mark a shift in document-sharing practices. This shift has led to a decline in the use of traditional email attachments. While the impact on e-discovery is still evolving, it is one of the key areas to watch this year. Despite the growing prevalence of the use of hyperlinks, only a handful of courts have addressed the issue of modern attachments to date.
