Tips and Considerations
- Make sure the file you want to attach is in a compatible format (e.g., PDF, DOCX, JPEG).
- Check the file size limit for your email client or service. Large files may need to be compressed or split into smaller parts.
- Be mindful of email attachment limits and restrictions, as some services may have specific rules or restrictions on file types, sizes, or formats.
- Consider using a file-sharing service or cloud storage platform (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to share large files or sensitive information.
