Hello, dear friends! Today we will learn how to send different files to other users of the VKontakte social network. This function can come in handy quite often, if you are an active user of a social network, why open an email if you can send everything you need here.
Let's move on to practice and see how easy it all is to do.
How to upload a VKontakte file
We will upload it to the “Documents” section of the social network, so we launch our page and click on the corresponding link in the left menu:
In the window that opens, click on the “Add document” button:
A window opens in which the restrictions for the downloaded dock are listed. It should not exceed 200 MB, and also violate copyright. Supported types are also listed. If you haven’t found any of the listed types that suits you, then I wrote a whole section about it in this article. Read it below. Now to upload, click on the “Select file” button:
Find the one you need on your hard drive and click on the “Open” button:
We wait for the document to load and another window opens. In this window, select the document type “Personal”. If you set the settings this way, the file will not be visible and searchable by other users.

Send the file by message
We find the person to whom we want to send the document and start writing him a message. After you finish entering text, you can insert the file. To do this, click on the “More” button and select “Document” from the drop-down list:

How to send .exe, .html, etc. file
Let's now try to send a file in a format that is not among the allowed ones. Let it be an extension.exe. Let's open it:
They write to us that it could not be loaded because it should not be executable. An executable file is just a file with the .exe extension.
If you think about it a little, you can figure out that in order for the system to skip this type, you just need to change its extension. This is what we will do now.
Changing the extension
This can be done quite simply in the Total Commander manager. If you don’t have it, then let’s try to do it using standard means. In the Windows 7 operating system, as in newer versions, just go to the folder settings through the “Management System”. Next, go to the “View” tab, then scroll down the list and remove the checkbox next to the “Hide extensions for registered file types” item. Then click on the “Apply” button:
Many people know that for some time now it is possible to transfer files in the following formats on the social network Vkontakte: mp3 (music); jpg, gif, png, ps, psd (images), ppt, pptx (presentations), doc, docx, xls, xlsx, rtf, fb2, djvu, pdf (text documents and books). However, what if you suddenly needed to transfer a file in *.exe or any other format. Or transfer several files at once. There is a way out of this.
1. Take the required file(s) and pack it into a zip archive (accordingly, an installed archiver is required for this). For those who don’t know how to do this: right-click on the file and select “Add to archive” in the list that appears. A window will appear - in it, select the ZIP format on the left and click “OK”.
2. Change the *.zip extension to *.docx. Let's save. When asked “Make the change,” click “Yes.”
Attention! If file extensions are not displayed for you, do the following. Open “Start” -> “Control Panel” -> ‘Folder Options’ -> “View” tab. Move the slider down and look for the inscription “Hide extensions for registered file types” - uncheck the box and click “OK”.
3. Transfer the file to another user. Be sure to notify him that after the transfer, before opening, you should change the extension back. That is *.docx to *.zip.
P.S. This method allows you to transfer any type of file.
Sometimes the opportunity arises to send a document. Is it possible to do this through Vkontakte correspondence? Yes you can. There are, however, some restrictions. But they can be bypassed. Now I'll show you how to send a file to VK.

Before you read this article, look an even easier way to transfer absolutely any files to VKontakte .
VKontakte has a file transfer function, but you can only transfer files with the extensions listed below: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .rtf - Text documents. .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .djvu, .fb2 - Presentations, books. .png, .jpg, .gif, .psd, .ps - Images. .mp3 - Music.
What should you do if you need to transfer a file extension that is not in this list (.exe, .rar, .wav, .avi, etc.). Or, for example, you need to transfer many small files.
The first step is to archive the file(s) that need to be transferred. Then select any picture (in our example “1.jpg”). Move the files to the root of any local disk (this will be a little more convenient).
When the preparatory work is completed, you need to go to the command line, to do this, press “Win + R” (the “Win” button is located between “Ctrl” and “Alt”). In the window that appears, enter “cmd” in the “Open” field and click “OK.”

After which the “Command Prompt” will open, in which you first need to specify the path to the folder in which the prepared files are located (in our case, this is the root of the local drive E:). To do this, enter “E:” and press “Enter”.
Then enter the following command: “ copy /b 2.jpg+1.rar new.jpg” and press “Enter”. “copy /b” is the general part, then comes the name of the image file (2.jpg) + the name of the archive file (1.rar) and separated by a space an arbitrary name of the new image (new.jpg).
As a result, a new file is created - “ new.jpg”, which can be opened using an archiver (WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.) Now this picture, with any files inside, can be transferred via VKontakte.
