      kylezz , 26 Jan 2017No, but encrypted zip will work. I can't comment on that as I haven't tested that. Sharing it via Drive is way simpler for me because not all my contacts are so familiar with Application softwares.

      Will try this next time I am in need to send such a file.

                i don't think adding a password works. It can still block it. Just change the file extension from .exe, .js to ".txt"

                        "However, in case you have legitimate reasons for sending such a file, Google suggests you use Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage, or other storage solutions to share the file."

                        Nonsense. Why use another service just to send a file?
                        You can pack the JavaScript file into a .zip file, or just rename the extension of the file then you can send it, and the receiver can rename it back.
