How to send files

Via email

Our e-mail system can handle attachments up to a size of 20MB and does not accept executable files (such as files ending in .exe, bat, ps, or cmd), even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. Any message of this type sent to us will be bounced back you. Adding an underscore to the file attachment (e.g. file.zip_) will help.

Using our upload facility

If you want to send us a larger file you can use our upload facility. Make sure to send an accompanying email to support@gams.com to let us know what you sent.

In general we will get back to you within 8 business hours. In case you do not receive a reply within 16 business hours then please see our contact page for alternative ways of contacting us.
