How to attach a file to a letter

Very many users meet when mastering e-mail with a management problem, not knowing how to attach a file. And this function, without any doubt, is very important. Quite often it is because of it that most users register their first electronic mailbox. Similar difficulties arise not only for beginners, but also for experienced users. For example, in those cases when for work or for other reasons it is necessary to have an electronic box on such international services as Gmail.

So, how to attach a file, what are the main points you need to consider when carrying out this procedure. First of all, you should know that all email services use similar work algorithms, so having mastered one of them, as a rule, there should not be problems with others. It's not just about general management principles, but also about the specifics of the work as a whole.

Sending files by mail is very convenient, but you need to know that the total size of attached files should not exceed 20 MB. Attempting to attach a larger file will cause the recipient to receive a message containing a download link, and the attachment will be placed on the mail service server. This is not very convenient, since in most cases it creates additional (considerable) time. Therefore, this moment should be taken into account when sending your correspondence, and a large file will be much more convenient to put on a free file sharing, from which it is much easier to download the necessary information.

In order to attach a file, a simple procedure is provided. Having opened your mailbox, you need to select the option responsible for creating a new mail. Typically, you use the "Write", "New" or "New Mail" buttons. In the opened window, you need to find a function that usually has a fairly distinctive name, which reflects its essence, so there should not be any complications here. Typically, this option is located below the line in which the subject of the letter is inscribed.

After the desired button is found and clicked, you should specify the address to the file that you want to send by mail. If there are several such documents, then you can use the "Cntrl" key, which should be kept pressed while selecting each required file with the left mouse button.

Sometimes there are problems with finding the function responsible for attaching files, which makes it very difficult to send email. For example, such complications for some time were observed when using the mail service from Google. At the moment, in the updated Gmail interface for attaching documents, there is a clip icon located below the field into which the text of the letter is entered.

Few know that popular modern browsers support one extremely useful feature, which greatly simplifies the sending of e-mails with attachments. Now, in order to attach the file, it is enough just to drag it with the left mouse button pressed in the letter field. This indicates that the actions of software developers are aimed at performing the main function - to simplify as much as possible all the user's actions.
