Upload Files With Restricted Formats on Email or On Social Network Websites

When you are trying to send a file via email or on social network websites and you get an error message which warns you about the file format, which is not allowed to send. Because there are restricted file formats such as .exe .msi .bat etc.
So in this post, we will learn how we can send restricted format files.

Method No. 1

1) On your computer open up the location where is stored the file.
2) Press shift key on the keyboard and right-click to open the context menu and choose "Open Command window here".
3) And type the command

ren nameoffile.exe nameoffile.txt

Change "nameoffile" with the file name.
4) Now send the txt formatted file.
5) The receiver need to download it and open command prompt as we do in step 2 and type next command

ren filename.txt filename.exe

Method No. 2

In the first the method you do need to complete some "geeky" stuff. So to skip that process you can do next.
1) Simply upload the file to the Cloud Storage such as Google Drive, DropBox, Yandex Disk, Mediafire etc.
2) Now enable the file visibility to users who have the link.
3) And simply send the download link.
