When sending emails, we often need to attach important files or documents to the email. Most of us know how to attach a file to an email, but do you know how to attach a folder? Attaching a folder can be helpful when you need to send multiple files related to a project or topic. In this article, we will guide you on how to add a folder as an attachment.

Step 1: Compress the Folder

The first step of attaching a folder is to compress it. A compressed file is easier to attach and send over email, especially when you have multiple files. In Windows, you can compress a folder by right-clicking on the folder, select “Send to,” and then “Compressed (zipped) Folder.” This action will create a compressed file with the extension .zip, which you can attach to the email.

Step 2: Start Composing an Email

Next, you need to open your email account and start composing an email. Depending on your email service provider, you may find the option of adding an attachment by clicking on a paperclip or an attachment icon. When you click on the attachment icon, a dialogue box will appear, asking you to select a file to attach.

Step 3: Add the Compressed Folder

Now, navigate to the location where you have saved the compressed folder and select it. Once you have selected the .zip file, click on the “Attach” button. You may notice that attaching a compressed folder may take longer than attaching one or two individual files, so you need to be patient.

Step 4: Confirm and Send

The final step is to confirm and send your email. Before sending an email, make sure that your email contains all the necessary information and attachments. Once you have confirmed that everything is okay, click on the “Send” button.

Alternative Method: Use Cloud Storage

Another way to attach a folder is to use cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. These services provide free space to store and share files online. You can upload your folder to the cloud, and then share it via email.

To use this method, log in to your cloud storage account, create a new folder, and upload the files you want to share. Once you have uploaded your folder, right-click on it and select “Get Shareable Link.” This action will generate a shareable link that you can copy and paste into your email.

When the recipient receives your email and clicks on the link, they will be directed to the folder on the cloud storage platform, where they can download and view the files.

Conclusion:

Attaching a folder to an email is not too difficult, especially if you know how to compress the folder. Compressing the folder will make it easier to attach to the email. If you prefer not to compress the folder, you can use cloud storage services to upload and share your files via email. Make sure to follow our step-by-step guide, and you should be able to attach folders to your emails without any issues.
