Cannot attach file in hotmail outlook

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you attach a file in Hotmail (Outlook.com):

Check the file size and type

  1. Make sure the file you're trying to attach is not too large. Hotmail has a file size limit of 20 MB.
  2. Ensure the file type is supported. Hotmail allows attachments in the following formats:.doc,.docx,.xls,.xlsx,.ppt,.pptx,.pdf,.txt,.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.gif,.bmp,.zip,.rar,.7z.

Check your browser and settings

  1. Ensure you're using a supported browser: Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.
  2. Check your browser's settings:
    • Ensure cookies are enabled.
    • Check if your browser's pop-up blocker is blocking the file attachment window.
    • Try disabling any browser extensions that might be interfering with the attachment process.

Try attaching the file again

  1. Log out of Hotmail and log back in.
  2. Try attaching the file again. If it still doesn't work, try attaching a different file to see if the issue is specific to the file you're trying to attach.

Check for any errors or messages

  1. If you're still having trouble, check the error message or notification you receive when trying to attach the file. This might give you a clue about what's going wrong.

Additional troubleshooting steps

  1. Try attaching the file from a different location, such as a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox.
  2. If you're using a third-party email client, try attaching the file directly from the Hotmail website.
  3. If none of the above steps work, try resetting your Hotmail account's settings or contacting Microsoft Support for further assistance.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and successfully attach your file in Hotmail (Outlook.com)!
