Why Can't I Attach Files on My Mac

Why is my email not letting me attach a file?

The most common reason that an attachment won’t send is that it is too big. These limits are set by whoever you use for email, whether it’s an email account through your ISP or through an online provider like Yahoo or GMail. You should check with your email service provider to see what the limits are for attachments.

How do I send a file as an attachment on a Mac?

Click the Attachment button in the toolbar, locate a file, select it, then click Choose File. You can also drag files from the desktop, the Finder, or an app into your message. For photos, click the Photo Browser button in the toolbar, then drag a photo into your message.
