Tips and Considerations
- Make sure the file you want to attach is in a format that can be opened by the recipient (e.g., PDF, DOCX, JPEG).
- Keep the file size reasonable (e.g., under 10MB) to avoid issues with email servers and recipient's email clients.
- Use a descriptive file name and extension to help the recipient identify the file.
- Consider using a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive to share large files or files that are too large to send via email.
- Be cautious when sending attachments to unknown recipients, as they may contain viruses or malware.
