How to send a folder by email
In daily work and study, we often need to send files, especially folders, via email. However, most email services do not support sending folders directly, which requires us to master some skills. This article will introduce in detail how to send a folder via email, and attach the hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days for your reference.
1. Why can’t the email send the folder directly?

Mailbox services are usually designed to send individual files, not folders. This is because the folder itself is a container that contains multiple files or subfolders, and the mailbox attachment system cannot handle this structure directly.
2. How to send a folder via email?
Here are a few common methods:
1.Compressed folder: Compress the folder into ZIP or RAR format and send it as an attachment.
2.Use cloud storage services: Upload the folder to a cloud disk (such as Baidu Cloud Disk, Google Drive, etc.), generate a sharing link and send it via email.
3.Send files separately: If there are few files in the folder, you can add them one by one and send them as attachments.
3. Detailed steps (take compressed folder as an example)
