    I'm not aware of any existing solution for this. I think it would be possible to develop one; there are 2 possible approaches, but both have drawbacks:

    • From a coding perspective, using server-side code with an .aspx page is fairly simple. The problem is that you would need to host the page somewhere (it can't be hosted in Crm Online), and you would have to build an appropriate security model around it
    • A client-side web resource is probably a bit more code. You'd need to interact with the file system via the browser to access the file and it's contents (I'm assuming this is possible but I've never tried it), convert the contents to a base64 string, then write it is a note to CRM
