Problems with attachments
Experiencing difficulty when attaching a file? Here are a few common issues:
- Large file size - emails can't exceed 25MB, if you need to attach a file over 25MB use the option to share files from Google Drive or Dropbox.
- Special characters - remove special characters from the title and try again.
- Unsupported web browser - make sure you're using a supported web browser.
- Some file types present a security risk - we don't support a variety of file formats, such as .exe, .bat, and .jar, because they can be used to distribute malware.
