Re: Using Mail Drop
Hi, Dropbox links work fine. I prefer Airdrop because it’s as simple as sending an attachment, the file doesn’t need to live in a service like Dropbox or iCloud taking up space, and it’s easy for the recipient to deal with as well.

Re: Using Mail Drop
Also, if the person has an Android phone then by default they do have access to Google services such as Drive etc. The file could be sent to them via Google Drive.

RE: Using Mail Drop
Somebody doesn't have to be a Dropbox user in order for you to send them an email with a link to download a large attachment. All you have to do is save the file in your Dropbox, then right click on it and select the option to "Copy Dropbox Link". I usually add one additional step because by default if you send somebody the link as it is the file opens instead of downloading so if you send them, for example, a video file it would start playing. If you were to paste the link into Notepad you would find that there is always a 0 at the end of it and if you delete that 0 and replace it with a 1, then copy the link again and paste it into an email the file would actually automatically download to the downloads folder of whoever you send the email to. Of course they still have to open the email and click on the link. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Tuesday, August 9, 2022 12:51 PM To: V I Phone Subject: Using Mail Drop Hi, all.

Re: Using Mail Drop
Hi Lisa, When you send the file by Airdrop, the recipient gets a link they can use to download it. Since the link is to a video, it may be that they can view it on their phone without downloading; I’m not sure. The link is good for 30 days. I hope that helps.
