Google raised Gmail attachments size limit upto 10GB

Google has now announced to integrate Google Drive into Gmail, thereby allowing users to insert files from Drive directly into an email without leaving their Gmail.This has raised the attachment's size limit from 25 MB to 10 GB.

With Drive, users can now send files up to 10GB, which is 400 times larger than what a user sends as a traditional attachment. Also, because a user is sending a file stored in the cloud, all recipients will have access to the same, most-up-to-date version.

"Gmail will also double-check that your recipients all have access to any files you're sending. This works like Gmail's forgotten attachment detector: whenever you send a file from Drive that isn't shared with everyone, you'll be prompted with the option to change the file's sharing settings without leaving your email. It'll even work with Drive links pasted directly into emails," said Phil Sharp, Product Manager, Google.

 

To get started, users can just click on the Drive icon while they are composing a message. Google has announced to roll out this feature over the next few days.
