FILE USABILITY BASED ON A SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and program products are disclosed for file usability based on a system configuration. A user module determines a recipient of a file that is distributed to the recipient by a sender. A system module determines a configuration of a recipient's system. An action module performs one or more compatibility actions associated with a file in response to determining that the file is not compatible with the recipient's system configuration. A compatibility action includes an action related to usability of the file on the recipient's system. A compatibility action is performed on a sender's system prior to the sender distributing a file to a recipient.
