Treehouse2339 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have emailed plan files before but this one must be to large. Is there a way around this? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehouse2339 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 so I hate to ask for help on zipping a file as I have done it many times but when I zip this file and look at it, the file name is there but nothing inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Had you closed the Chief file before zipping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 close the plan in Chief use Windows Explorer to find the file - then right click on the file and select SEND TO - choose COMPRESSED (ZIPPED) FILE if still too large create a Google Gmail account my limit is 25 MB - new account may differ if I mail something larger than 25 MB then google sends it to Google Drive and the receipient can download it this is free yesterday I sent a 767 MB file Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Or you can try Backup Entire Plan from within Chief. Select the Send Backup Files To Zip Archive option. Should save you a bit of fumbling around if it gets the file down small enough. Or...I have used a free service called WeTransfer - free and great for large files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... Upload it to Dropbox (free version works fine for me) and then send a link to your recipient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
