So, they have done their part to make their users more secure and therefore restrict the usage of these formats in their mail.

There are times, when we will need to sent small files or programs to our friends, for sharing or reference purpose.

  2. Upload your files
  3. Click on ‘Share’ button
  4. Copy the link

You can also click also do it directly from your mail.

  2. click on ‘add via google drive option’

  4. Sent it to your recipient

#2)By renaming the files

This can be a little boring way, and i wouldn’t suggest it.

  1. Compress all the files and generate a ‘.zip’ file
  2. Rename the ‘.zip’ file and cancel the ‘.zip’ extension. Eg: Rename “Myfiles.zip” to “Myfiles
  3. Sent the zip file as an attachment.

These are the two easiest way to sent the JS / EXE / DMG / DLL etc files via gmail.
