"you can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder"

[Joshua Brown]

Why? What does it matter if the files I'm choosing to attach are in different places? I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but for now I can't seem to wrap my mind around why Windows can't just attach the files from where they all happen to be.

I received the message when attaching multiple files from different locations as an email attachment. Each of my employees' documentation is in an individual employee file and I needed to send off a copy of their photo ID to our insurance company. I clicked to attach files, navigated to the parent folder, searched for "photo ID" and the search results populated with all employee's ID photo files, as they're all named "[employee name] - Photo ID".

If its an email, you can only attach one file at a time. That just how the attachement works. Click attach, attach file, click attach again, attach another file. In some applications I can attach only 1 photo in others I can't attach more. Just depends on application.

Pretty sure Outlook lets you do multiple, not at my computer right now though so can't check.
