How to use mail drop on ipad
Mail Drop is a feature in the Mail app on your iPad that allows you to send large files or attachments to others without having to worry about file size limits or compatibility issues. Here's how to use Mail Drop on your iPad:
Sending a file using Mail Drop:
- Open the Mail app on your iPad and compose a new email.
- Tap the "Attach" button to add a file to your email.
- Select the file you want to attach from your iPad's storage or take a photo/video directly from the app.
- If the file is too large to send as an attachment, you'll see a "Mail Drop" option below the attachment list.
- Tap "Mail Drop" to send the file using Mail Drop.
- Enter the recipient's email address and a brief message (optional).
- Tap "Send" to send the file using Mail Drop.
How Mail Drop works:
When you use Mail Drop, the file is uploaded to Apple's servers and a link to the file is sent to the recipient. The recipient can then download the file from the link, regardless of the file size or type.
Benefits of using Mail Drop:
- Send large files without worrying about file size limits.
- Send files of any type, including videos, images, and documents.
- Recipients can download the file from the link, even if they don't have the same file type or software.
- Mail Drop files are stored for 30 days, so recipients have time to download the file.
Tips and limitations:
- Mail Drop is available for files up to 5GB in size.
- Mail Drop files are stored on Apple's servers, so make sure you trust the recipient with the link.
- If the recipient doesn't have a Mail app or an Apple device, they may not be able to download the file.
- Mail Drop files are stored for 30 days, so make sure to send the file to the correct recipient and keep track of the file's expiration date.
