For some time now, those who have used the Yahoo mail, which after the recent renewal of 2013 has become fast, practical and much more usable than before, can also send large attachments and save files online easily thanks to Dropbox. Dropbox and Yahoo have in fact entered into a partnership whereby, every attachment that is received in Yahoo Mail can be saved, instead of on the computer, in their Dropbox online archive.
At the same time you can send an attachment to any email address by uploading the file to Dropbox, without therefore any size limit (the normal attachment can be a maximum of 25MB).
Those who use Yahoo Mail then, when uploading an attachment in a new message, can press the down arrow located next to the paperclip to select the " Share from Dropbox " option.
A file browser will then open, pointing to the Dropbox personal archive to choose the file to be sent.
If necessary, you can upload a new file by pressing the Upload button in the same window.
Dropbox opened by Yahoo Mail has a separate section for photos and also allows you to search for the file by writing its name.
Files sent via Dropbox are received as a file download link.
For e-mails received, however, you can download the attached file by clicking on the Save link (below the attachment image in the body of the message) and then on Save in Dropbox .
All files are automatically saved in a new Yahoo Mail folder.
The first time you use Dropbox from Yahoo Mail, you need to authorize account integration and allow Yahoo Mail to access Dropbox.
If you don't have an account yet, see here how it works and how to sign up for Dropbox.
The advantage of uploading or downloading attachments to Dropbox from Yahoo Mail is very evident.
First of all you can save the files received online and then make them usable from other PCs and from your smartphone.
In addition, you can send large files of any size and you can keep them online and send them to other people without having to upload them to the internet at other times.
On this topic I remember that Gmail also allows you to send large attachments with Google Drive
