Sending a File via Email

The easiest way to share a file with another user is via email, as an attachment. To send a file via email, you attach that file to a standard email message. When the message is sent, the file travels along with it; when the message is received, the file is right there, waiting to be opened.

1.  Start with a new message and then click the Attach button in the message’s toolbar.
2.  Navigate to and select the file you want to send.
3.  Click Attach.
4.  Send the message as normal by clicking the Send button.

CAUTION

Large Files

Be wary of sending extra-large files over the Internet. They can take a long time to upload if you’re on a dial-up connection–and just as long for the recipient to download when received.
