How to send a document or folder with files
The first step is to add the corresponding item to the menu. Go to “Settings” and check the “Documents” checkbox. This action will simplify the entire process to a minimum.
If there is a need to transfer a large amount of information, you should use one of the methods below:
- Add a folder to the archive on your computer by right-clicking on it and clicking “Move to archive.”
- Install the WinRAR archiver program. With its help, you can archive ZIP files, which as a result will take up a small amount of space.
To avoid the “Invalid file” error, you should first study the sequence of actions.
Sending from a computer
It is much easier to send from a computer, because the system is designed on an intuitive level.
Sequencing:
- Open the dialog, hover your mouse over the image of the paperclip.
- From the list presented, select the line labeled “Document”.
- Upload the desired file or select from the list of sent options.
- To add a file, click on the line that says “Upload a new file.”
You can add the text of a message to the attached file, which is very convenient for users of the social network, as it helps prevent misunderstandings.
Transferring files from your phone
To download the desired document from your phone, you should follow the same analogy. If the user has no idea about the location of the source, then the transfer will not be easy.
Under what circumstances does a restriction appear on iPhone?
We will only talk about devices from Apple. A similar message appears on VKontakte when a user tries to get to the page of a certain group. But the device, for some reason, classified the material as prohibited. That's why you see the message in question on your smartphone screen. There are explanations for this behavior of the social network. Perhaps the group moderator configured his community incorrectly. There is another reason - the content of the group is indeed prohibited for the territory in which you live.
On Android mobile devices, users do not face this limitation. This only happens on Apple gadgets. As their users know, this is not the only prohibited feature that is only available on the iPhone. We will remember them later.
How to send a file to VK if it is more than 200 MB
Before sending a folder with files to VK with text, photo documents or others, you should study the information on the established limits and volumes of messages. As you know, the size should not be more than 200 MB.
To increase the level of security, VKontakte does not provide for sending programs. They most often turn out to be malicious, so the developer protected users of the social network. Sending is only possible through archiving. In this case, when attempting to unzip, the recipient will be warned that the attachment may harm the device.
Preparing to download
Zipped files are best used when you need to transfer the contents of a folder, but you don’t want to download one file at a time. In addition, archives can significantly reduce the size of source files thanks to special algorithms.
As an example, preparations for uploading an archive to VK will be done using the WinRar program. It is used as follows:
- Find the desired group of files or folders in Explorer and select them.
- In it, select the “Add to archive” item.
Call the context menu using RMB (right mouse button).
- In a new window, change (optional) the compression level. It will reduce the size of the future file, but will increase the time it takes to extract it.
- Click “Ok” and wait while the archiver processes the files.
Note: the size of the created archive should not exceed 200 megabytes. This is a limitation of VKontakte.
In addition to the downloaded file, you will need access to the download section. To enable it, you need:
- Hover the cursor over any of the menu items on the left side of the window and click on the gear that appears.
- In the new window, select “Documents” and click “Save”.
List of files that can be attached in a message
Supported file types that you can send to a friend:
- Doc, doxs, psd.
- Png, gif, jpg.
- Fb2, xls, xlsx.
Attach any files to standard messages (Word document, Office document, images, music, video document and photo). There are no restrictions.
The exe file should be selected as an invalid format. The system will not let it through in any case. There is a solution: rename it on your computer. It's more difficult to do this on a phone. It is recommended to replace the existing extension with any valid one, for example, docx. As a result, the object will look like a text document, after which it needs to be archived and sent in the same way as the others.
Such a file will launch only after entering the required extension after unzipping.
Restrictions, size and limits
You can attach no more than 10 files to one message. Otherwise, the user will receive a push notification about the error. In this case, you can send the remaining ones with the next message, the number of which has no restrictions.
Many people know that for some time now it is possible to transfer files in the following formats on the social network Vkontakte: mp3 (music); jpg, gif, png, ps, psd (images), ppt, pptx (presentations), doc, docx, xls, xlsx, rtf, fb2, djvu, pdf (text documents and books). However, what if you suddenly needed to transfer a file in *.exe or any other format. Or transfer several files at once. There is a way out of this.
1. Take the required file(s) and pack it into a zip archive (accordingly, an installed archiver is required for this). For those who don’t know how to do this: right-click on the file and select “Add to archive” in the list that appears. A window will appear - in it, select the ZIP format on the left and click “OK”.
2. Change the *.zip extension to *.docx. Save. When asked “Make the change,” click “Yes.”
Attention! If file extensions are not displayed for you, do the following. Open “Start” -> “Control Panel” -> Folder Options -> View tab. Move the slider down and look for the inscription “Hide extensions for registered file types” - uncheck the box and click “OK”.
3. Transfer the file to another user. Be sure to notify him that after the transfer, before opening, you should change the extension back. That is *.docx to *.zip.
PS This method allows you to transfer any types of files.
Instructions
The WinRAR archiver can do this. With this program you can archive multiple files or a folder
with a large amount of material, for example 200 songs, into one large file. You can download and install the WinRAR program from the official Russian website of the program: https://www.win-rar.ru/download/winrar/ Since the WinRAR program is shareware, most of its functions will work even after the trial period ends. After installing the program, restart your computer.
Select folder
, which you want to transfer or download to the file, and right-click on it. In the context menu, select “Add to archive...”.

.
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, they are difficult or even impossible to transfer through the messenger.

A window will appear on a new page for selecting a file and, when you click on the “Add” button, a Windows Explorer will appear in which you need to find the selected file. Once the archive is downloaded, you can send an email. The file will be included in the email attachments.
Use file-sharing networks if the file takes up more than 100 MB of disk space or needs to be sent. Having uploaded the archive once to a file exchanger, you can download it using a unique link an unlimited number of times. At the same time, any users can download (if you wish, you can set 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.
To open the archive and unpack the files on the computer of the person to whom the archive folder will be transferred, the user will also need WinRAR or 7Zip installed on his PC.

Helpful advice
It is better to send files up to 5 MB this way. If the files are larger than 5MB, they will be automatically split by the program into several files. This may not happen correctly. Therefore, it is better to save the files yourself in advance into 5 MB archives and then separately attach them to the letter. Well, if the folder with files is very large (700 - 1000 MB), then it is better to use special file-sharing services for sending.
Transferring files via the Internet to friends or work colleagues often becomes a problematic task: you need to transfer several documents, a dozen photos, and sometimes also songs or videos. Uploading each file to file-sharing services separately is a rather time-consuming task. Archiving will help solve the problem.
Instructions
Archiving is the creation of an archive file using special software - an archiver. The archive is a file- folder
, which contains “packed” files. Unlike a folder, it is a file and can even be an executing program (COM, EXE). Therefore, an archive, unlike a folder, can be transferred. It doesn’t matter how many files it contains.
The most common archive formats are RAR, ZIP, 7Z. For users, they are practically no different. The popular WinRAR archiver can create such an archive and extract files from it. WinRAR is a shareware program, therefore, all its functionality can be used without purchasing the full version.
A WinRAR window will appear with settings for the archive name and parameters. Configure the archive as you wish or leave everything as default, then click the “OK” button. After a few seconds or minutes, depending on the size of the folder and the number of files, an archive in RAR or ZIP will be created in the source directory, with the same name as the folder you archived. It is a single file that you can upload to a file hosting service, hosting service, or attach it to an email message.
