Can't attach files to gmail windows 8

Frustrating!

There could be several reasons why you're unable to attach files to Gmail on Windows 8. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your internet connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. Try opening a different website or app to see if you can access the internet.
  2. Update your browser: Make sure your browser is up-to-date. You can try updating your browser to the latest version or switching to a different browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
  3. Disable browser extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with Gmail's functionality. Try disabling all extensions and then try attaching a file again.
  4. Check your Gmail account settings: Ensure that your Gmail account settings are correct. Go to your Gmail account settings (gear icon) and check that your account is set up correctly.
  5. Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser cache and cookies can sometimes resolve issues with attachments. Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete to open the browser's settings and clear your cache and cookies.
  6. Check for browser add-ons: Some browser add-ons, such as ad blockers or security software, can interfere with Gmail's functionality. Try disabling any add-ons that you suspect might be causing the issue.
  7. Try a different attachment method: Instead of attaching a file from your computer, try using the "Insert from drive" option to attach a file from Google Drive or another cloud storage service.
  8. Check for Windows 8 updates: Ensure that your Windows 8 operating system is up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues with specific apps like Gmail.
  9. Try restarting your browser: Sometimes, simply restarting your browser can resolve the issue.
