Tech Tip: Compressed Folder

There are many times that I am trying to share large files with others but can't send them through email due to their size. This can be videos, several pictures, multiple PDFs, or any other type of file. This can be a hassle to get around as often people move them manually through a flash drive or send multiple emails with different attachments to share these files. A more simple way to solve this problem is through a compressed zip folder. This is a file that compresses the size of the contents so that they can be moved easier and take up less storage space. This can be done by putting all the files into one folder. You can give this folder whatever name you would like to identify the contents. You then right-click on the folder click on "Send To" and then select "Compressed (Zip) Folder." This will make the contents of the folder much smaller which will save storage and allow you  to share more files over email.
