How do I send these?

[wendilla]

I have just put holiday pics in 3 separate files of 60 in each file . I have sent files before and I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. by e mail.Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Sending 60 pictures at a time will be large and if the poor receiver is on dial-up, they won't thank you for having to wait 2 hours just to watch you paddling.

The best way would be to upload them to a free image hosting site and send your victim err I mean recipient, the link :-)

I think you may mean FOLDERS instead of FILES?

Not all email clients will accept folders as attachments. If yours doesn't, then using a compression facility such as Winzip will convert the folder and its contents into a file which can then be attached. (it will be smaller as well)

I doubt you will be able to email them, all email providers have a set maximum size for attachments and 60photos will certainly be above any providers max size.

you could sign up for a free account here

and then upload the pictures to their site and provide the people with a link to download them

or sign up with a photo hosting site like photobucket upload your pictures and then give people a link to the album so they can view the pictures.

Zacmaster yes I know how to send a few pics but I wanted to send the file 0f 60 in one go .Every time I click to send the file of 60 it goes straight to sending them one at a time

Thanks chuckfickens that rings a bell .Will try that. Photobucket.I know I sent all my daughter wedding pics somehow .

[ChuckFickens]

to email a folder (not file as gen2 pointed out) right click on the folder, select send to and then select compressed (zipped) folder.

This will create a zipped file that contains all the pictures that can then be emailed as one file.

but as I said, 60 pics will be far too large to email.

Yes Gen 2 it was 3 separate folders

Do you have winzip? I find this the easiest way to send folders of photos, just zip them and attach the zipped file.

YOu can download it if not

[ChuckFickens]

chazza,

why bother downloading winzip (which is not free remember) when windows can produce zipped files on it's own without any extra software. (see my post above)

If wendilla is using anything earlier than XP, the zip feature won't be included.

Yes I have got windows xp. Working on it now brain takes a while to get in gear. Thank you all for your help .I will get it sussed out now .
