A large number of files - documents, photographs, audio files - is inconvenient to transfer one at a time, neither in social networks, nor via ICQ, nor via e-mail. The folder has no extension and is not a file, so it is impossible to transfer it at all. But with the help of specialized programs, you can convert a folder with its contents to a file.
It is necessary
WinRAR program
Instructions
Step 1
This can be done by the WinRAR archiver. With this program, you can zip multiple files or a folder with a lot of material, such as a collection of 200 songs, into one large file. You can download and install the WinRAR program from the official Russian site of the program: https://www.win-rar.ru/download/winrar/ Since WinRAR is shareware, most of its functions will work even after the trial period ends. After installing the program, restart your computer.
Step 2
Select the folder you want to transfer or upload to the file sharing and right click on it. In the context menu, select the "Add to archive …" item.
Step 3
On the main tab (General), enter the desired archive name and also define the desired archive settings. Then click the OK button at the bottom of the window. You will see another small window showing the process of creating an archive. As soon as the compilation band reaches 100%, the archive will be created in the same directory as the original file folder.
Step 4
Now the resulting file needs to be transferred to another user. Since folders with a large number of files are usually large and take up more than 20 MB, it is difficult or even impossible to transfer them through the messenger. In this case, use one of two methods: file transfer by e-mail and file-sharing networks. When transferring an archive by e-mail, go to your e-mail account and select "Add file" or "Attach". A window for selecting a file will appear on a new page, and when you click on the "Add" button - Windows Explorer, in which you need to find the selected file. Once the archive is downloaded, you can send an email. The file will be in the attachments of the letter.
Step 5
Use file sharing networks if the file takes up more than 100 MB of disk space or needs to be sent to several people. Having downloaded the archive 1 time to the file exchanger, you can download it using a unique link an unlimited number of times. At the same time, any users can download it (if you wish, you can put a password to open the archive). Use free file-sharing networks: https://narod.yandex.ru/https://letitbit.net/https://ifolder.ru/https://depositfiles.ru/ After downloading the file from your computer, you will receive a unique link to file, which will be the address for downloading it.
Step 6
To open the archive and unpack files on the computer of the person to whom the archive-folder will be transferred, the user will also need the WinRAR or 7Zip program installed on his PC.
