What is mail drop using icloud

Mail Drop is a feature in iCloud that allows you to send large files or files that are too big to send via email to anyone, regardless of whether they have an iCloud account or not. Here's how it works:

1. You upload your file to iCloud using the Mail app on your iOS device or Mac.
2. You can then share the file with anyone by sending them a link to the file.
3. The recipient can then download the file directly from iCloud, without having to sign up for an iCloud account or install any additional software.

Mail Drop is useful for sending large files, such as:

• Videos or photos
• Documents or presentations
• Audio files or podcasts
• Zip files or archives

Here are some benefits of using Mail Drop:

• No file size limits: You can send files of any size, as long as you have enough storage space in your iCloud account.
• Easy sharing: You can share files with anyone, regardless of whether they have an iCloud account or not.
• Secure: Files are stored securely in iCloud and can only be accessed by the person you share the link with.
• Convenient: You don't need to worry about attaching large files to an email or using third-party file-sharing services.

To use Mail Drop, follow these steps:

1. Open the Mail app on your iOS device or Mac.
2. Compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
3. Tap or click the "Attach" button and select the file you want to send.
4. If the file is too large to send via email, you'll see a "Mail Drop" option. Tap or click this option.
5. Enter the recipient's email address and a message (optional).
6. Tap or click "Send" to send the file via Mail Drop.

The recipient will receive an email with a link to download the file. They can then download the file directly from iCloud, without having to sign up for an iCloud account or install any additional software.
