- You can attach multiple files to a single email by repeating the attachment process.
- Some email clients may have a file size limit for attachments. Check your email client's settings to see if there is a limit.
- You can also use cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive to attach files to your email. Simply share the file link with the recipient instead of attaching the file directly.
- If you're sending a large file, you may want to consider using a file transfer service like WeTransfer or File.io instead of attaching the file directly to your email.
