Samsung's roles out ONE UI 7 to nearly all devices

In a recent update, samsung has rolled out a software update giving mid range and low range phone users a chance to experience the new interface,  ONE UI 7. The update, initially only available for flagship phones, has finally been released to most Samsung devices.

When sharing information, you may sometimes need to attach files or folders. 

sending a single file with a small size is never an issue.  All you have to do is compose your email, then select a file to attach from your local directory or a folder in the memory of your PC.

Normally, you can send files with sizes of up to 25mbs through direct attachment. Anything above that should be shared via google drive, a storage service given by google.

By default, Gmail does not support attaching folders. When you try that, you are likely to get an error message.
