How To Add Multiple Emails To Iphone 8

While sending an email with the Mail app, you might need to attach a large file or a document to it. For security reasons, you can't go wandering through the file system, but you can attach any file to any email with the help of your Cloud Storage system, including the Files app, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and more.

How to send large email attachments from the Files app on iPhone and iPad

The Files app gives you access to all of your documents, videos, photos, and more that are saved onto your iCloud Drive, all from the convenience of your iPhone. This makes it easier to send large email attachments by browsing through your folders and recent files. Here's how!

Launch Mail from your Home screen
Tap the Compose button on the bottom right corner of your screen to start a new email.
Touch-and-hold to bring up the editing menu on iPhone. (Or use the shortcut key on iPad)
Tap the arrow button to get more options.
Tap Add Document.

Tap on the folder that contains the file you want to attach, if it's not at the top level.
Tap on the file you want to attach.

Add a recipient, a message, and you're good to go.
