How to send 'huge' attachments via email using iOS features

This article will show you how to send 'huge' attachments via email on iOS through the Mail Drop feature.

What is the Mail Drop feature?

Mail Drop is a feature that allows sending large attachments (up to 5GB) securely and quickly via iCloud. Instead of attaching a file directly to an email, Mail Drop will upload the file to iCloud and the recipient will receive a link to download it.

Mail Drop works by uploading files to iCloud instead of sending them directly via email. So both the sender and recipient need an Apple ID to use Mail Drop. The Mail app uploads files to iCloud. Then give the recipient a link to download it.

Using Mail Drop offers several specific advantages:

- Send large files: Mail Drop allows you to send files larger than traditional email capacity limits.

- Easy to use: Mail Drop is automatically enabled and the recipient just needs to click the link to download the file.

- Secure: Files are stored securely in iCloud. Only the recipient can access it.

Instructions on how to use Mail Drop

Mail Drop is the perfect solution to easily send large files via email. Here are instructions on how to use Mail Drop. To use, do the following:

Step 1: Open the Mail app on your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac) or iCloud.com on your computer.

Step 2: Click the "Compose" button in the lower right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Compose a new email and add the file to attach.

Step 4: Click the "Send" button in the upper right corner to send the email. The app will automatically use Mail Drop if the attachment size is too large. Then you just need to click "Use Mail Drop".

With just a few simple steps, you can effectively send large attachments via email using iOS features. Please refer and follow to experience this feature.
