Hi Joey,

My girldfriend is trying to send me some photos to my e-mail, but when she is attaching the photos it never finish and it drops her conexion each time and so she cannot send me anything. we try using Hotmail and Yahoo and it doesn't work. Why is this happening?

She use Mozilla Firefox and have Windows XP.

Something like this happened recently with me and a friend.

#1, if your G/F has the pics on her phone and is trying to send them to you using her phone, have her 1st transfer the pics to her computer

#2, Do not use Hotmail, use Yahoo or Gmail to send the pics. Yahoo and Gmail have a 20 or 25 MB limit on the file attachment size. I believe Hotmail is about half.

#3, When she sends you the email with the pics tell her to make sure she only send you up to 20 MB worth of pics at a time. Anything more than that will not work. She might have to send multiple emails to you.

OR

You can chat with your G/F on Yahoo Instant Messenger, Google Talk or AOL Instant Messenger. When using any of those chatting programs you can easily send and receive files from 1 another. She can easily transfer you the pics while both of you are chatting on your computers.

Hi Joey,

She is trying to send the pics from her computer using Hotmail and Yahoo, but no pic would charge complete and after a few minutes she will be disconnected from the internet, this happens each time she try to attache 1 pic. I though maybe it would be like a internet security option, but I do not know which one could kind of block the sending and drop the internet connection as a precaution of a virus or something like that.

We send pic via messenger, but the problem is when one of us can not be there thats why we are trying to found a solution to this problem.

Thanks Joey Smiley

If it is just 1 pic it is quite odd what happened. I am guessing maybe her anti-virus or firewall is messing things up. Maybe some other program running in the background.
If she gets disconnected from the Internet then that is another issue.

I was messing around with my Hotmail account yesterday and checking out all the free services they offer. One of their free services might be what you are looking for. It is called, "SkyDrive". This will allow you and your girlfriend to share a 25 GB personal/private folder online. So both of you can upload, download pics or whatever other file that you 2 store on there.

Google "Windows Live SkyDrive". It is free with a Hotmail or LiveMail account  Smiley

I just thought of another solution. I can't believe I did not think of this sooner.

Use DropBox. It is free and will do a great job for your tank and a lot of other things. I can't believe this didn't cross my mind. Been using it for around 2 years now, lol.

Checkout the video on how it work. Yes it has little cartoons and talks to you like you are 6 but at least it explains well  Grin
