# Emailing macOS Files from Windows

If your primary email application is in Windows, you can still easily attach files from your macOS folders. Here is how to achieve that:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This functionality requires the installation of [Parallels Tools](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pdfm-ug/v20-en-us/parallels-desktop-for-mac-20-users-guide/advanced-topics/installing-and-updating-parallels-tools).
{% endhint %}

1. Right-click the file in macOS and select **Share** > **More**. This opens the **Extensions** section of the macOS System Settings.
2. Scroll down the list of extensions and select **Send with Windows Email App** (you have to do this only once).
3. Right-click the photo again and select **Share** > **Send with Windows Email App**. The default email application starts in Windows, creating a new message with the file attached. You only need to enter the recipient's email address and email subject.
