2.) Set up a shared file space rather than using email for file sharing.

Option 1 – Google Drive/Team Drive

Option 2 – Microsoft 365 OneDrive

Option 3 – Temporarily send one-time, secure and encrypted files using Texas A&M's Filex system (step-by-step help documentation is available)

3.) If you choose to use email, consider encrypting the email when sending to external collaborators by entering *Encrypt* at the beginning of the subject line. More information about encrypting email is available.
