Attaching files to an email is a common task, but what if you want to attach an entire folder to your Gmail message? Although it may not be as straightforward as attaching individual files, with these simple steps, you’ll be able to send entire folders via Gmail in no time. So, let’s get started!

Step 1: Preparing your Folder

To attach a folder to Gmail, you first need to make sure it is properly organized and compressed into a single file. Follow these steps to get your folder ready:

  • Arrange all the files you want to include in the folder.
  • Create a new folder on your computer.
  • Drag and drop the files into the new folder.
  • Right-click on the folder and select “Compress” or “Create Archive” (depending on your operating system).

Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll have a compressed folder file ready to be attached to your Gmail message.

Step 2: Attaching the Folder to Gmail

Now that you have your compressed folder file, it’s time to attach it to your Gmail message:

  • Open your Gmail account and start composing a new email.
  • Click on the “Attach files” icon (paperclip) located in the email composition toolbar.
  • A file explorer window will open.
  • Navigate to the location where you saved your compressed folder.
  • Select the folder file and click “Open”.
  • Gmail will start uploading the folder file.

Once the folder file has finished uploading, you are ready to send your email with the attached folder!

Step 3 (Optional): Providing Instructions for Recipients

If you want to provide instructions to your email recipients on how to access the attached folder, you can include a brief explanation in your email:

  • In the body of your email, type out the instructions on how to uncompress the folder file.
  • Alternatively, you can mention that the recipient should simply double-click on the folder file to extract its contents.

By including these instructions, you ensure that your recipients know how to access the files within the attached folder.

Attaching an entire folder to Gmail may require a couple of extra steps, but it’s a convenient way to share multiple files at once. By following this step-by-step guide, you can easily send folders via Gmail and save time when sharing files with others. Happy emailing!
