I have a bunch of files I need to upload and send via email.
They're medical photos taken on a CD.

What's the best way to handle this?

It’s pretty straightforward—you just pop the disc into the drive on your PC and attach the files to an email, just like you would if you were moving stuff over from a thumb drive or an external hard drive.

I'm assuming the OP thinks those photo extensions were burned onto a CD and the computer just can't "read" them properly, right?

But honestly, that shouldn't stop you from just sending them via email.
The whole thing assumes the recipient actually knows what kind of file format they're looking at and has the right software to open them. If they don't... well, that’s a whole different headache that has nothing to do with how you send the email in the first place.

You're right, I didn't phrase my question very clearly. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about this myself either.

Here’s the situation: I have about 2,000 JPEG photos, each ranging from 1 to 3 KB, along with a program file that's 866 KB. My computer can read both the photos and the program just fine. I tried attaching the program to an email, but it wouldn't go through. Instead, I got this message: For security reasons, Outlook does not allow the use of this type of file because it violates Google's policy regarding executable files and archives.

So, how am I supposed to get all this data to the recipient? Is there somewhere I can upload everything so they can just download it? I'd rather not deal with the headache of trying to send it via email.

Just toss all those files into a single Zip folder and shoot them over using something like WeTransfer or a big file transfer service.

Look, here is what you do. Just toss everything into a single folder, compress that folder using something like WinRAR or WinZip, and then upload it to a file-hosting site. You could use MediaFire—it’s incredibly user-friendly—or even something like Dropbox or Mega if you prefer. Once the upload finishes, you'll get a download link. Simply send that link to the recipient, and they can grab the file, unzip it using whatever software was used to pack it, and they're all set. It's that simple.

I think you could probably just attach it to this—then just give the recipient a heads-up.
Though, I suppose they clear things out within a day, or maybe right after a single download [or perhaps even more than one]?
You can pick whatever settings you prefer, so there shouldn't be any real issue there.
