Why can't i attach files in yahoo mail

There could be several reasons why you're unable to attach files in Yahoo Mail. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. File size limit: Yahoo Mail has a file size limit of 25MB per attachment. If your file is larger than this, you won't be able to attach it. You can try compressing the file or breaking it down into smaller parts.
  2. Browser or device issues: Sometimes, browser or device issues can prevent you from attaching files. Try using a different browser or device to see if the issue persists.
  3. Yahoo Mail settings: Check your Yahoo Mail settings to ensure that file attachments are enabled. Go to Settings > More Settings > General > Attachments and make sure the "Allow attachments" option is enabled.
  4. Blocked file types: Yahoo Mail may block certain file types, such as executable files (.exe), to prevent malware from being sent. Check the list of blocked file types and see if your file is on the list.
  5. Outdated browser or plugin: If you're using an outdated browser or plugin, it may not be compatible with Yahoo Mail's attachment feature. Try updating your browser or plugin to the latest version.
  6. Yahoo Mail outage: It's possible that Yahoo Mail is experiencing an outage or maintenance issue that's preventing you from attaching files. Check the Yahoo Mail status page to see if there are any known issues.
  7. Account issues: If you're experiencing issues with attaching files, it's possible that there's an issue with your Yahoo Mail account. Try logging out and logging back in to see if the issue persists.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Try attaching a different file to see if the issue is specific to the file you're trying to attach.
  2. Check the Yahoo Mail help center for more information on attaching files.
  3. Contact Yahoo Mail support for further assistance.
