Open DMG Files with 7-Zip. 7-Zip is a lightweight, but powerful compression tool that is free to download. In addition to extracting DMG files, you can use 7-Zip to extract most types of compressed files out there, including ZIP, CAB, ISO, RAR, and WIM, to name just few. This might be a web-based program, like Gmail or Hotmail, or a desktop application like Outlook or Apple Mail. Opening a VCF file with Outlook. Each program opens contacts in a different way, but almost all will work with either the VCard or CSV files that the iPhone Backup Extractor produces. The options for Google Mail are described below. When sending in data to us we recommend using our ‘Collect Data for IGG’ app that encrypts your data using a unique password into a DMG file. If you are a Gmail user having issues sending in your data to us we recommend uploading the encrypted “Send Me To IGG.dmg” file on Google Drive, then sending us a link to the file on Google Drive. I have Google Alerts send me a news alert daily, say with the subject line something like: Google Alert - crowdfunding 'jobs act' Over a few years I have over a thousand such daily emails with say 2 to 10 article links in the body of the email., so a total of say 4,000 articles.
If you get a Blocked for security message when you try to send a file like this, this message will show you how to send it.Please be aware that Gmail does not support file formats like EXE, DLL, DMG, VB, CMD, BAT, JAR, VBS, JSE, PIF, VXD, JSE, APK, INS, SCT, MSI. You can send RAR and ZIP files, but even these two files are sometimes blocked if they contain a prohibited file type. In this post, we will show you how to send locked files using RAR files as an example.
Most likely you tried to send a RAR file via Gmail, but for some strange reason it doesn’t work. You are wondering what to do here because sending this RAR file is very important. Sending a RAR file via Gmail to someone else is not always easy and it mostly has to do with the rules set by Google. You see, Google doesn’t like it when you send certain files to a friend or family via Gmail, so the problem is most likely not in the RAR archive, but in its contents.
Locked for security reasons
If the search giant is indeed blocking your download, you should see a message that says Blocked for security reasons . This is normal because, as stated above, there is a high chance that you have been blocked due to certain files in the RAR archive. In this post, I will provide an example scenario in which Gmail blocks a RAR file.
How to send locked files to Gmail
You have three options, and we’ll take a closer look at them:
- Remove locked files
- Edit locked files
- Share to OneDrive
1] Delete locked files
The first option is to extract the contents of the RAR archive and delete the affected files if they are not very important. After that go ahead and upload the RAR archive file again. This time, you shouldn’t run into errors from Gmail.
2] Change the file extension of blocked files
Editing files is a surefire way to make things work the way you want. However, we recommend communicating with the other party before doing so. We say this because after they receive the RAR file via Gmail, they will need to manually return the edited files to their normal state.
So, open Explorer and find the RAR archive you want to send. Right click on it and extract the files from the inside. If any file has the same extension as the unsupported files mentioned above, right-click them one by one and select Rename .
If the file in question is named TWC.exe , for example, rename it to TWC.jpeg or any other supported file format. Return all content to the RAR archive and start the download process via Gmail again .
After receiving the archive, the other person should follow the same example. Right-click on the relevant files, select Rename , then remove the extensions and add the ones you want.
It’s pretty straightforward and shouldn’t take time if you’re not submitting a lot of content.
3] Share to OneDrive
There is another option that works the most. With this option, there is no need to edit the content in the RAR archive. If you’re on Windows 10, which you should be, visit the Microsoft Store and download the OneDrive app .
Launch the app, then drag the RAR archive from File Explorer to the OneDrive app . Once the download is complete, right-click on the RAR archive and select Share Link .
Copy the provided URL and send it to a third party. Whenever they click on that link, they are taken to the location of the file on OneDrive. From there, they will be able to download it without fuss.

PeaZip is a file manager and archiver utility, its point being consolidating multiple composite files in a single archive file so it is more handy to manage for any purpose, including saving, copying and sharing or sending the file, with any method as email, ftp or other protocol such as torrents or p2p.
Moreover, supporting high compression algorithms, output file is usually significantly smaller than the sum of sizes of input files, saving bandwidth and time both for uploading and downloading large files.
| If a maximum size limitation is mandatory, in example when attaching a large file to an email or uploading to a web storage service, file spanning feature can (in a single pass) create multiple split output file parts (.001, .002, etc), each one smaller than the desired size - compatible with Unix / Linux split command, and applications like HJSplit, and 7-Zip - to avoid risk of the payload being rejected by the service for exceeding maximum allowed size. |
The integrated archive files conversion function ensure the ability to change the type of an existing archive, extracting and effectively re-compressing its content in the desired file format, in order to, in example,
- transform old archives (as backup files) into a more up to date format either for improved compression or better security
- the sender needs to share data with recipient users being able to read only a subset of the archive formats supported by sender's software
- the sender needs to avoid the attachment being rejected by some services due security risk concerns frequently associated with some specific formats - i.e. Gmail and some email services rejecting encrypted zip files, being commonly used as vectors for virus, password protection effectively preventingin-archive malware scanning.
PeaZip also features strong file encryption protocols (AES for 7Z and ZIP; AES, Twofish and Serpent for PEA and ARC files), including encryption of table of content of the archive (encrypt the list of archived files and folders), in order to keep the content of the file private applying end to end encryption before sending data or use any cloud / upload service. Two factor authentication is optionally supported, to improve the security of password based protection, and an encrypted password manager is also featured to help safely storing multiple passwords.
Hint: to directly attach to email an archive compressed with PeaZip you can either
- select desired files, rightclick, and send them with 'PeaZip' > 'Zip and mail' system context menu entry
- alternatively, use 'Send by mail' option in archive creation interface of PeaZip
in both cases remember to check maximum attachment size, and use file spanning (splitting) function if output archive is larger than allowed size
Cloud, synchronize data with PCs and other devices (tablet, smartphones)
PeaZip file manager / archive browser automatically detects local paths for mainstream cloud storage providers:
DropboxMy Box FilesGoogle DriveMicrosoft OneDrive (previously SkyDrive)Sharepoint WorkspacesYandex Disk
Cloud based synchronization platforms allows users to store data on a remote network location that is mutually accessible by different devices owned by the user, like multiple PCs, smartphones, tablets/phablets etc, basically any device capable to connect to the Internet and run the file synchronization software, which for this reason is usually multi-platform and can run on Windows, Linux and Android, and Apple MacOSX and iOS.
| As additional endpoint privacy measure, PeaZip can encrypt files getting shared or stored on cloud services. |
PeaZip file manager shows available shared cloud directories in the navigation area (on the left of file browser), so shared files are quickly accessible.
Moreover, file compression/conversion and archive extraction interfaces shows shared directories in the dropdown directory selection menu, for quickly selecting sync folders as target for archiving and extraction tasks.
This is especially useful when sharing archive files with mobile or ultramobile devices not running a full featured file archiver (i.e. because some archive formats or encryption protocols are not supported, or because not enough powerful for convenient use of strongest compression algorithms, especially on very large archives, or because no viable freeware choices are available, or because locked for some policies), but fully capable to handle the content of the archive in uncompressed form.
Receive or download files
PeaZip support extraction of over 200 archive types, including most popular file formats used on the Internet and file sharing platforms like RAR, ZIP, ZIPX and TAR files, support decryption of password protected files and joining split set of files (.001, .z01, .r01 files).
The application can scan for malware and virus inside archive files before proceding with extraction - last group of entries in PeaZip's 'Test' context menu shows available antimalware / antivirus software that can be used to scan open archive, or scan multiple selected archive files before opening them in PeaZip, in this case if the security software supports reading that format.
|
Many checksum and hash algorithms (CRC32, CRC64, MD5, SHA, SHA2, SHA3...) are supported by this application for file integrity test against known in order to detect file corruption or forgery, to avoid risks inherent in opening / storing corrupted, non verified files coming from the web or any untrusted remote source.
Unreadable files can also be tested trying to open them providing a password, in case they are in fact encrypted files with changed extensions.
Same algorithms can also be used to de-duplicate files, searching for duplicate content in order to reduce disk space waste and make file collections more manageable after duplicate files gest removed.
Finally, secure deletion can take care of permanently remove unwanted files from disk making unfeasible recovery of the unwanted (or unreadable) files.
