So do what Suavito suggests - mail a zipped backup.

Why don't you mail an actual .zip file of your project to yourself? You haven't turned off automatic backup of your projects, have you? By default Scrivener backs up zipped projects to a folder separate from the actual projects folder. So you could even use a cloud service of your choice for the zipped backups (unlike with .scriv files!).

You could even set up a free account somewhere just for the purpose of holding that zipped project. Mega, Box, Sync, and many others have free space available in the cloud.

Google treats the *.wp file as a Wordperfect file and so you bypass the virus filters.

Yes, but there are simpler, less time consuming ways to save a backup to the cloud than going through your list of steps above. If that's your goal, then emailing it to yourself is unnecessary. This is mbbntu's point. Just save the zip file to a cloud service, any cloud service. If you're a already a fan of google, than save your zip backup to google drive. You're on Apple, so iCloud would be convenient as well.pseingalt wrote:The reason for emailing the project is to have a back-up.

Google's not the only one. I've seen other email programs protest at zipped attachments, although at the moment I can't recall which one it was.AmberV wrote:Google treats the *.wp file as a Wordperfect file and so you bypass the virus filters.
And here I thought Google hired the finest.
So I guess according to them, if I take a plain text file with “HA HA” typed into it, and .zip it, now becomes a potential virus.
