How to Hide Your Files from Gmail & Google

To hide your files from Google/Gmail is actually quite simple, you just need to rename the file extension, for example if you want to send test.exe you would need to rename it to test.zzz.

If you want to send a ZIP or similar file and it contains a .exe or any of the other banned types of file, you will need to rename the actual ZIP file rather than the files inside.
