By "attach a file to email", what I mean is attaching a file from the server to the email. This can be sent to your team as a notification with PDF instructions on how to follow up on the new lead. Or you can attach a PDF to the email sent to the person who filled out your form with more information about how you can help them. I show you how to add files from the media library and from on your server, outside of the media library.

    Thanks for the video Bjorn, always a treat to see you in the inBox! I imagine it would be relatively simple to share a link to a file that is on the cloud, like on OneDrive, Google Drive or something similar, provided we created the link with the proper settings (view only) to be able to send it? This way, I could send a large file to anyone I want and not create storage problems on the server? I have a 2 GB ceiling quota for my site, so that's something I need to manage carefully.

In WordPress I upload the 3mb file and follow the rest of your explanation in the video. However when I test the contact form the white paper which is automatically sent is not 3mb but 600kb. Most of the white paper is still in good quality however the logo's of my company are not. Do you have a possible solution for this?

    To get files to show up in the media library in WordPress you have to upload them through the website. If someone uploads a PDF through a form, you can put the file into a folder in the right directory, but it won't show in the WP media library. Or did I misunderstand what you're asking?
