A lot of users encounter a management problem while mastering e-mail, not knowing how to attach a file. And this function, without a doubt, is very important. Quite often, it is because of it that most users register their first email account. Such difficulties arise not only for beginners, but also for experienced users. For example, in cases where for work or for other reasons you need to have an email account on international services such as Gmail.
So, how to attach the file, what are the main points to consider when carrying out this procedure. First of all, you should know that all mail services use similar work algorithms, therefore, having mastered one of them, as a rule, there should not be any problems with the others. This is not only about the general principles of management, but also about the specifics of the work as a whole.
It is very convenient to send files by mail, but you need to know that the total size of the attached files should not exceed 20 MB. Attempting to attach a larger file will result in a message containing a download link being delivered to the addressee, and the attachment itself will be placed on the mail service server. This is not very convenient, since in most cases it creates additional (considerable) time costs. 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 hosting service, 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 letter. As a rule, the buttons “Write”, “Create” or “New letter” are used. In the window that opens, you need to find a function that usually bears a rather characteristic name that displays its essence, so there should not be any difficulties here. Typically, this option is located under the line in which the subject of the letter is entered.
After the desired button is found and pressed, the address of the file to be sent by mail should be indicated. If there are several such documents, then you can use the “Cntrl” key, which should be kept pressed while simultaneously highlighting each necessary file with the left mouse button.
Sometimes there are problems finding the function responsible for attaching files, which greatly complicates a process such as sending email. For example, such difficulties were observed for some time when using the Google mail service. Currently, in the updated Gmail interface for attaching documents, there is a paper clip icon located below the field into which the text of the message is entered.
Few know that popular modern browsers support one extremely useful feature that makes sending emails with attachments much easier. Now, in order to attach a file, just drag it with the left mouse button pressed into the message field. This indicates that the actions of software developers are aimed at fulfilling the main function - to simplify all user actions as much as possible.
