google gmail unable to send a VCF file?

[Android Central Question]

When I am in contacts on my S8 Plus and want to share a contact VCF File, I select gmail to sent it. When gmail loads, it states it "couldn't attach file". It worked yesterday and today it won't???

That usually means "couldn't find file" or "couldn't open file (on the OS level)", not "couldn't send file". Create a new file and see if it sends.

I have the same issue, with new and old contacts. I try to send via email and Google mails says "Can't attach file".

This is a flaw with old Android OS and Gmail combined.

It is a SNAFU.

I am looking to update my old Android OS and save my contacts and trying to save the ENTIRE file also has been nothing but a serious cluster f****

Android imposes a limit of 100 contacts only.

The main problem is that the .vcf attachment is stuck in my outbox.

Actually 3 drafts....each representations of my battle with this scenario are stuck in my outbox.
