Computer question from Laboratory Attendant exam, 2026 by JKSSB
While sending an email with a large attachment, Aarav notices that the email client automatically uploads the file and shares it as a link instead of attaching it directly. Which Internet feature makes this possible?
Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option A —
Cloud storage integration
Why this is the correct answer:
Most modern email services (like Gmail with Google Drive, or Outlook with OneDrive) have a strict file size limit for direct attachments—usually around 20–25 MB.
When Aarav tries to attach a file that exceeds this limit, the email client seamlessly switches gears. It uploads the file to its connected cloud storage service instead, generates a secure sharing link, and embeds that link directly into the email body. This allows the recipient to download the file directly from the cloud without clogging up email servers.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B: SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol used to send emails, but it does not compress large files into cloud links.
C: Dynamic attachment routing is a made-up, technical-sounding phrase.
D: Internet caching protocols (like ICP) are used by web proxies to share cached web pages and speed up browsing, not to handle email file attachments.
