Send an Attachment with Yahoo! Mail
To attach a single file to a message you are composing in Yahoo! Mail
- While composing your message, click Attach in its toolbar.
- Find and open the desired file.
To attach multiple files in one go:
- Make sure Yahoo! BrowserPlus or Flash are installed.
- Click Attach.
- Find and highlight all the files you want to add.
- Hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) to highlight separate files; hold down Shift to highlight a range.
- Click Open.
To attach files by dragging and dropping them:
- Make sure Yahoo! BrowserPlus is installed.
- Click the up arrow (Expand panel) at the bottom of the message you are composing, under Attach.
- Drag and drop the desired file or files unto the Drag Files Here area.
- Of course, you can also drop images unto the area once it already holds files and Drag Files Here disappears; make sure the area lights up in yellow when the desired files hover over it.
Note that Yahoo! Mail imposes a limit on the total message size. To send larger files, you can use the Share It Yahoo! Mail application.
Send an Attachment with Yahoo! Mail Classic
To send any file as an attachment with an email in Yahoo! Mail Classic.
- While composing a message, follow the Attach Files link.
- Select Browse to select the file you want to attach on your computer.
- Click Attach Files.
Yahoo! Mail Classic now grabs the file from your computer and attaches it to the message you are currently composing. Additionally, every file you attach is scanned for known viruses automatically.

Eventually, select Done to close the attachments window and return to the message composition page.
