Everyone who uses email professionally has found at some point that a file was too big to be received as an attachment, having to look for other platforms to send or looking for how to reduce the size. Now the Gmail limit is extended to 50MB so that your users can receive larger files.
Gmail limit to 25MB to 50MB
Google just announced that has doubled the size of the attachments that can be received through Gmail, thus going from a maximum size of 25MB to one of 50MB. This option will allow those who send an email to a Gmail with files up to 50MB not to have to receive an email back explaining that the limit has been exceeded and the email cannot be sent.
This extension is valid for all files that can currently be received as an attachment in an email, whether they are images, documents, dossiersreports or presentations.
The new feature has just been announced by Google which informs that the space expansion will be available to all Gmail users in three days.
Gmail’s limit is extended… but only to receive
Paradoxically, at the moment the expansion of space is only for attachments received in Gmail, not so for the envoys. If a file to send exceeds 25MB, it will be necessary to resort to the cloud storage platforms, the most popular being Dropbox, Wetransfer and Google’s own tool, Drive. All of them allow you to upload large files and send a link to the recipient so that they can access or download them on their device.
Few email services currently offer the ability to send 50MB files, as other companies like Yahoo or Outlook also keep the maximum size for sending attachments in 25MB.
