    You need to zip the folder first. Right Click | Send To | Compressed (zipped) Folder.

    You right click on the folder you want to send as an attachment.

    Hi,

    you can do this by:

    1. Right click to that folder send to zip.

    Ex: Folder name is Apple [after you compressed the file it would be Apple.zip]

    1. Create e-mail then attach the file name Apple.zip and send the e-mail.

    Tip: you can try to send to yourself to test and see if it works.

    when I hit "attachment" all I get is all files from "Documents" and that is not the Email folders.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Depending on what you are using for mail, you should be able to browse to any location to attach a file. It would still have to be zipped first.

    I don't use the Cloud, but any file sharing program would work.

    Mr Hagen:  This is in reply to your answer for someone needing to attach a folder and send Email.

    Your reply was to zip, R click and Send To.

    Would this work for my problem?  I have to send an entire folder or selections to one email address, but when I hit "attachment" all I get is all files from "Documents" and that is not the Email

    folders.

    Or may I save the folder and contents in Office Cloud?  and how?  Thanks very much
