When it comes to sending files through email, it can sometimes be frustrating when you can’t seem to attach anything. But fear not! There are ways to fix this issue and get those important files sent.
Method 1: Check File Size Limits
The most common reason why files can’t be attached to email is due to size limits. Most email providers have a limit on the size of attachments that can be sent. For example, Gmail has a limit of 25 MB for attachments. If your file exceeds this limit, you won’t be able to attach it to the email.
To fix this issue, you can try compressing the file using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip. This will reduce the file size and make it easier to attach. If the file is still too large, you can try uploading it to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox and then send a link to the recipient.
Method 2: Check File Permissions
Another reason why files may not be attachable is due to file permissions. If the file is locked or set to read-only, you won’t be able to attach it to an email.
To fix this issue, you can check the file’s properties and make sure it is not set to read-only. You can also try moving the file to a different location on your computer and then try attaching it again.
