Gmail Blocking File Types

[Jazz]

Hey there,

I was trying to download some backups of clothes I have in my email and it looks like gmail is blocking the clothes file types! Have folks managed to get around this and download older emails/files they have in their inbox?

I think it would be a lot to ask for alternative download links for all of these and I am trying to come up with a solution or by-pass Gmail thinking that it has a virus or something along those lines.

Gmail seems to be cooperating w/me lately! Which files are you trying to recover, if I have them I'd be happy to send them to you even if it has to be in individual pieces (if you don't mind)! Let me know and I'll see what I can do, if you wish!

PS no, I don't think there's a way to get around gmail policy to disallow certain files ... but somehow I'm able to get and send things now altho all of my older sets etc are blocked.

I believe that any .zip with .clo files is getting blocked by their filtering system

I think that the majority of the clothes I am not going to have to re-download because I have them all on my old laptop

(My old laptop essentially died, BUT I am still /kinda/ able to use it enough to transfer my files with my external harddrive, so it's mostly things I hadn't downloaded yet from my email or can't place on my laptop due to poor organization that I have been trying to settle in on my new computer)

I am anxiously excitedly waiting for my files to load all the way on my harddrive and then I can play

I don't think there is a way to get around it yet either for anyone experiencing this. Personally, I haven't had the issue, but I do use Mozilla Thunderbird for all my email, but I haven't played around with it too much since other people have the issue and I want to make sure they get their stuff.

I know a lot of us have resorted to using zip files now like on mediafire. I now use zips for my mootique & PMing it's just as easy as email.

Jazz, gmail has been a pain like that for awhile. If you need any of my stuff please send me a pm.

it's annoying, gmail is blocking them but google drive allows them ....go figure!
