There are many complaints from hundreds of users regarding how their computers end up infected by different viruses that curiously receive as attachments in a certain email, content that they download and, when opened, finally ends up being installed on our computers and making life impossible. . To try to make this type of access more difficult, Google has just communicated that from now on JavaScript files will not be able to be sent in email messages.
This is a new step to achieve a more secure mail system and, in this way, files with extension . Js They are considered inappropriate, just like other much more common types of files such as .exe, .msc and .bat, which cannot be sent as attachments in an email either.
Google considers JavaScript to be unsafe and therefore will not let you send .js attachments in your emails.
As you can see in the image present in the header of this same post, as a user the only thing you will find when you try to send an email by Gmail and attach a JavaScript document is with a notification telling you that the file has been locked. If you click on the help link, Google will explain in a text that the file has been blocked because that format can spread viruses.
If you usually send this type of files, tell you that as Google has confirmed, apparently this restriction will be effective for all users from the next day 13 February. If after this date you need to send some type of file in this format, it is Google itself that recommends us to use other types of services such as Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage or any other cloud storage solution that you have available.
