If you need to send an email to someone with a large file or perhaps with many smaller files, you can compress the files to save space and also save the hassle of attaching several files one by one by selecting a compressed folder. The process is easy, and it doesn't require any extra software since the function is built right into Windows. Simply find the file or folder you want to compress, right click on the file or folder and select Send To and then click Compressed (zipped) Folder. The new file folder has a zipper on it to show its "zipped", and you can rename it to anything you want.
