Guest Yachtsman1 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Use one of the Hosting sites such as Dropbox Mediafire, or PTE's Slideshow club, then send the person you want to download the Exe a link & they can download it themselves.Yachtsman1. Quote
tom95521 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 You can still send .exe attachments in gmail up to 25 MB by renaming the extension from .exe to .mdb (probably others too). Awhile ago you could just rename it to .zip but gmail scans inside .zip files now. Just remember to rename the extension on the receiving end to .exe.The best method is to do what Eric suggests and use one of the many file sharing sites like Google Drive, OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive), etc.https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6584?hl=enTom Quote
Barry Beckham Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 JacekIts not good practice to send someone a large file via email, even when you can. It ties up the email for some for so long you can think something is wrong and re-boot.The options mentions above are free services that allow you to first upload a zipped copy of your slide show to their cloud storage. Generally it takes quite some time for a big file to upload, bit it will work OK in the background. Once uploaded you can generate an address of where your file is located and send just that link to people in an email.They can click that link and download your slide show at their convenience. www.mediafire.com is one and www.dropbox.com is another.
