Often times, you may find a piece of shareware or other software you'd like to share with friends, unfortunately Gmail doesn't allow you to send programs as attachments. This quick and easy guide will help you get you around that.
- Steps
- Find the file on your computer and make a copy of it.
- Rename the new file, take out the "Copy of" from the beginning of the name, and at the end of the file, change the extension (example: mysoftware.exe - ".exe" is the extension) from whatever it is to ".jpg"
- Attach this renamed file to your email.
- Instruct the recipient that they'll need to rename the file again, once it arrives, and provide the original extension of the file, so it will run properly on their end.
- Tips
- Make sure you write down the file's original extension, as it will not run properly if you provide the wrong one.
- Never assume someone else is doing this for you, make arrangements ahead of time, and know who's sending you what, and vice versa.
- If you can not see the file's extension, you will need to go to folder options, then click the View tab, and scroll down to where it says, "Hide known file extensions." This should be unchecked. If it is, uncheck it and hit apply.
- Warnings
You run a risk sending or receiving software, due to spyware, so check everything out before you attempt this.
