I send photos frequently by Mail Drop. Recently when I attempt to do so, I receive a message to the effect that, "Cannot send files by Mail Drop. Try again later." I've tried later many times, I've rebooted several times, but the problem persists over the past week or two. Anybody having same problem or know a fix?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
Greetings JoelAppleseed,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems you're unable to send photos using Mail Drop on your Mac.
Check out the limits within the following article: Mail Drop limits - Apple Support
"Attachments might not be sent using Mail Drop if they exceed these limits:
If the issue isn't related to the limits above, test with a different user account to help isolate the behavior: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support
Kind regards.
None of my attachments exceed the 5 GB limit. I have subsequently tried sending photos one at a time, and they go through without problem. I guess doing that is somewhat of a solution, but it is certainly more convenient to send several in one message as I've been able to do in the past.
I may have stumbled onto a solution! When the window appears saying the message is too large to send by Mail Drop, I clicked OK then click Send again. The message then was sent without any problem!
Now it appears that I did not find a solution. The recipient said the photo files she received were not full-sized after all. Still in need of a solution if anyone has one.
